Pretty much right here.

This might do it, then again it might be another sensor that´s related, but worth a go.

Thanks man, but I am trying to find out how to fix this prob

Like do I have to have the computer flashed or do I have to replace the T.B., Sensors, plugs etc....?

Edited previous reply, refresh for the other link I provided. Walks you through cleaning it out on a ¨lightning¨, same basic idea. I know jack and squat about the mechanical aspects, but googling the issues...I have a masters.

As I said, no expert surely, but other than cleaning it, I can´t see why you´d need to replace the actual TB, just the few related sensors once you figure out which one exactly. My guess would be you could use the MAF cleaner on the TB sensor itself to try and see if just that sensor itself is the issue. Meh, thread states it´s self-contained, so can´t clean the sensor itself. Ghey.

Here´s a better thread that´s related.

Specifically this part:
Just keep checkin´ back later, I´m sure one of the guys that can actually give real insight beyond this will see this eventually and likely chime in, just won´t be super-quick.

Thanks again man, its my only car, so im kinda freaking out because it is my transportation! and its all stock to! It should not have this prob!

Np man, and in the mean time if it were my car I´d be burning google up with ¨mustang¨, ¨tps sensor¨, those codes, and the like in searches as mine is my only vehicle at the present as well. Any way you slice it your likely going to need to replace something, but you might find a temp solution this way, and avoid a dealership service ´cha-ching´.

Not to mention not having to drive on the shoulder with the hazzards on, having amish kids with a horse drawn buggy pass you and laugh in the meantime .

That same thing happened to me three days ago. Taking off from a light and the engine nearly died. I barely made it off of the road. Pulled the same codes, cleared them and had it towed home. That night I couldn't make it run but the next morning it started and ran fine. I ordered a new throttle body w/ TPS and throttle motor, but cleaned the old one and so far so good.

Well just got done at the dealership. Yes i know, they robbed me. Short Story I'l expand on later...... There is a spring/coil thingy that is on the T.B. that controls the flaps inside it. The spring/coil had jumped outta wack and that was what caused this problem!!!!! A little B.S. problem that cost $136 to fix... So hope this helps. Message here if u need more detailed informaton!!!!

Actually, someone correct me here if this is wrong, but $136 isn´t bad. Unless it´s a pretty straight forward code(s) and symptom thrown you could have spent far more than that trying to replace just parts, not counting extra time/effort. Kind of a good deal from a dealership shop fix, I may faint.
