Default Limp throttle
today I was driving 1.5 hours away. 10 minutes before I got to where I was going I went into limp mode. It happened 3 weeks ago and for the last 3 years. Has anyone else had this problem? Or better yet has anybody fixed this problem?

Ya know what? Screw that "throttle by wire" crapola. I like cables. Too much to go wrong with electronic throttles.
