Orange wrench/limp mode
The Orange wrench light is on and it' in limp mode. Don' know what to do. I've already changed the cam positioning sensor and the crankshaft positioning sensor and I've also cleaned out the throttle body but nothing's helped

What kind of car? Did you just start throwing parts at it or did you have a code? There are lots of things that can cause that. Take it to a dealer or mechanic with the hardware to detect, correct, and reset.

Even if you cleaned the TB, that doesn't address the TPS.
Also check the ( ETCS ). Electronic Throttle Control System fuse. The fuse should
be located in the fuse box under the hood. Owners Manual would tell you exactly what
fuse it is and location.
Usually, it's a bad TPS.

Ford's design uses a dual-variable resistance scheme, where each resistance goes in opposite directions polarity-wise. If PCM detects them going in same direction, it kills the engine. The throttle plate has two springs, one to force it closed, and another which pushes the plate open very slightly each time the key ius turned ON. During that first few seconds, it checks the TPS output, and then gives OK or NAY to operating. You can see it do this if you remove the inlet duct and have someone turn the key ON. imp

it' an 07 mustang gt 4.6 and I've had it diagnosed and it threw up a couple different codes and that's what I went off up to fix those parts and now I've also replace the front two O2 sensors
