HELP, need codes diagnosed!
So, neat little background 1st. Wash the car, get it all prettied up, go to a local carshow, car is running great. Win 1st, have some very good food, meet some cool Chrysler guys who were sponsering the show, all around a great day. Get in the car to leave, try to start it, nothing....Engine Failsafe mode. Car will start, revs just like it normally does at start up, but dies. Even if I try to give it gas, the revs don't stay up, it just starts, revs up, dies. Disconnected the battery overnight, reset the Engine Failsafe fault, went to restart, same thing. Pulled the codes:
P2104
P2106
P2111
P2135
Tried to clear them, the only one that would clear was the 2104, rest are still there.
Looking for help, my baby is sitting in a strange parking lot, and I am as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated!!!!

If I were you I'd get it towed back home or to a dealership ASAP... your car is too pretty to leave out like that!

Well, it's odd that nothing like this has ever happened before. Car makes over 500 HP and it's always driven like stock. Somehow I think that although the car has only 25K miles on it, they won't be covering it under warrenty. Do they have to cover TSB's even AFTER a car is out of warrenty, and the car has a Saleen supershaker on it? I would LIKE the answer to be YES (I mean it is still the stock throttle body, just relocated), but somehow I am guessing it will be NO, lol.

My car is an 05, and have heard rumors they used a different (plastic) throttle position sensors in the 05's, Ford realized that they were junk, and put metal ones in the 06's and up. Any truth to that?
