Troubles

[Runaround]

Has anybody had the light on the dash come on for the Electronic Throttle Control? Mine is coming on shortly after starting the truck. Not everytime, it has happened three times in two days. I can turn the truck off, restart it and go about the day without it coming on. Any ideas?

Update: I drove the truck some more today with several stops and restarts. The light only came on once within a mile of my house. I took it to O'Reilly's and they scanned for codes and said I had a code for the evap system, I've had that code several times in the year since I bought the truck and another one say something about the cooling system reading inaccurate temperature, my gauge wasn't working while this light was on and another code saying I was using the incorrect engine oil. I am using PUP and have for the full year that I have owned the truck. Once I killed the truck the light never came back on like the other two times. I need help.

Make sure the plug in connector is pushed all the way in on the throttle body. I had problems with my 07 and the plug wasn’t making a good connection.

I will look into that tomorrow. I am going to even drive the truck and see if that light comes on again and see if the temp gauge is working if the light comes on. If it does I plan on disconnecting the battery for a while and see what happens. This is my wife's truck so I probably will not be driving it again until next weekend after tomorrow.

Update:
I pull the plug loose from the electronic throttle control and reconnected it several times and while doing this I had the battery disconnected. Now the truck had been driven for two weeks and the cel has not came back on again.
