    Hey guys, been working on geting this truck on the road again. So far, mechanically, things have seemed ok. I got in the truck this afternoon to move it cause I had to get to the trailer behind it and all of a sudden I have no throttle response (only idle) and a yellow check engine light and ECU 128 showing on the dash. It is a simple setup. FL Columbia with a 12.7 Detroit in it. I'm thinking some kind of a sensor? Any ideas out there?
    Thanks!

    throttle position sensor shot or bad connection would be my guess

    Any idea where this sensor is located? Been fine for a while but sensors go out on the Detroits fairly often. Never had to replace a throttle response sensor.
    Thanks

    Ok, thanks for the help there. I'm having some other issues now...We removed the throttle position sensor and tried cleaning the terminals. Went to put sensor back in to see if, possibly, this would help with the throttle response and now we have more codes. First of all, we have the red engine protect light on now, the yellow check engine light is still on, and we get an ecu 128 , PID 091 , Fail 04 , and finally Fault 1. Do any of these ring a bell?

    Code 128 is the trailer ABS code isn't it?

    I think 128 just stands for a general engine code...nothing in particular. I don't think it has anything to do with the trailer.
