Huh? Guess being new to site, I failed to ask a proper question. Here it is.. . I have had throttle body replaced twice due to lightning bolt light on. After doing so, the problem persisted to the point of the light blinking. When this happens, acceleration is very limited and car won't go over 20mph. After a month of trying to reset the starter went out. That was replaced, but original problem still exists. I've taken to a different shop now and they are saying cylinder 1 is misfiring and they want to dig into that hoping it will fix the other problem. This entails removing top of motor and checking coil pack etc. I'm down 1500$ from 1st shop and bill is growing from current shop. I guess my question is do you think fixing this current issue will finally fix the original problem of limp mode and throttle light. Thank you.

Heck, I was going to send him to the urologist. Sometimes they can fix Limp Mode.

Lol Bob! And thank u everyone. After almost two months I finally found a shop that knew what to do! Had a wire running from throttle body that needed spliced and sautered. It was flapping loosely into tire well and caused all kinds of hell. I think my nitemare is finally over. At least for now! Remember.. it is a Chrysler "Pathetica"
