I bought the car yesterday from an auction and when I turned it on it won't go past 3K RPM'S. The car was in storage since 2021 and battery and battery in FOB was dead. I replaced both. Still same problem? Check engine light is on. What can I do? Have the ECU reset or scan for codes? Thanks for all your help!

Scan for codes, and post the list here.

That's the code. It says permanent code on his snap on scanner. He said I should check the fuse first then change 3 sensors which are mass flow,throttle body position sensor and gas pedal sensor.

The fault is for how much effort the throttle body is exerting to move. I wouldn't waste money buying a new maf sensor (wouldn't hurt to clean the maf anyway as part of regular maintenance) or gas pedal sensor. I wouldn't immediately assume an electrical issue or problem with the ecu If it idles fine and you can drive around, but it is possible.

If this was my car, I would start by cleaning and inspecting the throttle body, plug and wiring. If I were to blindly spend money, I'd hop on ebay and buy the cleanest looking used throttle body.

Good news! I Googled the code and changed the fuse which was blown. I got my rpm's back!!. But I noticed the navigation screen is dead? Any ideas? Thanks

Search the forums unfortunately this is a "thing" for the nav/radio in this model. Then again did you press the DISP button on the left side of the screen yet?

No I did not press the display button. Am I supposed to press that first? I watched some videos on YouTube and will check and replace all radio, navigation and display fuses. Which might help. I hope. Thanks for any more tips.
