Default limp mode??

Ok so here's the problem I'm having. Sometimes while driving (completely random) the truck goes into limp mode ( engine still running but no throttle) pull over shut it off for 10 seconds then fires up and goes. Scanned the truck and got 3 codes P2138( wrong APP signal) p1229 (sensor power suppy short) and p1446 (vent valve closed at wrong time( read the bulletin)). Had one tech say I needed to clean MAS , did still does it then looked for a broken wire( didn't see any) so now I'm at the point of where I start throwing parts at it but don't want to waste the money on expensive parts only for it to still continue. and if so which part should I try first? Could it possiably be a relay going bad in the lovely Ipdm again? any help would be great thanks

Ah yes - the old fully automatic assault wallet repair approach. Buy parts blindly, say 3 penitants, confession, plug n prayer, and turn the key. Bad idea.
Aren't you going to suggest change the air freshener?



OP - Get the FACTORY repair manual, and do the diagnostic process for the codes that you got.

Or, subscribe to Mitchell's online repair, ALLData online, or go to a local mechanic, and ask him to printout the FACTORY diagnostic repair process from computer.

Or, buy a part and guess, and another, and another, and pretty soon, you'll have a NEW vehicle. AND, if you save each 'old' part, that you replaced, that was working fine, you'll have 2 TITANS!!!
