I have a 1999 Audi A6. I was experiencing some problems with it where it would not let me go past 20mph. Recently I had to jump my car several times and I think it was the battery that caused it so I replaced it. But now the car dies suddenly after i start it up. I get a P1545 check engine light code which I know that code points to Throttle Position Controller Malfunction. So I bought a used Throttle Body from the junk yard and that didn't help. I don't know if that was bad also.

I have also tried to do a throttle body adaptation manually but everytime i try to erase the Check engine light code (with my obd II reader) it is still there. I even tried to remove the battery for 30 minutes and it wouldn't remove.

I then turned my key to the on position for 20 minutes and turned the key off and back on....Still nothing...

I am stuck on this...What do you guys suggest?

Also can someone give me instructions on how to do a throttle body adaptation with the VAG-COM?

Thanks!

But on my jeep. It threw a code for the throttle position sensor. I dont recall if it is a similar mechanism on the 2.8, but it was a 10 minute DIY to get the thing back up on my jeep v8. Just a sensor that plugged into the side of the throttle body.

As Press said (like usual), search. Your answer is out there.

You have to purchase the entire throttle body on this car.

Good luck.

spring-fingers of the sensor so they make better contact with the carbon tracks on the ciruit board, if that is indeed the problem. This saved me from having to buy a new throttle body for my VR6 engine.
