02 is300 P1121 code/car won't start
My car was having an acceleration issue and seemed to only happen on inclines like it was a connection problem with something. The CEL light was on and the Trac off was flashing and when I pulled the code it was P1120. When I checked the connection to the T.P.S. it was fine however when I checked the connector to the A.P.P.S. it slid off very easily and was very brittle and broke in about 3 diff places. I depinned the old connector and replaced with a new one, now the car won't start, (it turns over) and the code has disappeared and the lights are gone and I didn't reset myself. I don't know what happened, I didn't mess with anything else while under the hood.
If the connector I bought is faulty and isn't actually connecting to the A.P.P.S. like it should would that cause the car not start? Is there something else I forgot or should be doing? Any help is greatly appreciated.
