Saab 9-7x P060e REP/Stabilitrak off

[tonyscha]

So, I posted this over a trailvoy (Saab 9-7x P060e REP/Stabilitrak off - Chevy TrailBlazer, TrailBlazer SS and GMC Envoy Forum), as it seemed to be a very popular forums, however I got a PM that said many of the technical people were banned and then I found this post (http://gmtnation.com/f5/welcome-gmtnation-com-heres-story-226/). Lets hope I can get some answers here.

Anyway onto more serious business.

Make:Saab
Model:9-7x
Engine:5.3i
Miles:84k

About two months ago, I was driving on the highway, and my Saab would cut out, for what seemed like less then a second. I went and got the codes checked, and I had the following codes (P0463, P2135, and P0121). I know the P0463 is my fuel sensor, as it stopped working a while back. The other two codes showed there was a throttle body problem. I found a few threads that recommended just cleaning it. I was very dirty and easily could have been sticking, after cleaning the issue went away.

Fast forward to yesterday, I got the reduced engine power(REP) and Stabilitrak off notification. After waiting a period of time or turning off and restarting car, it will go away, however it seems to happen about every 4 or 5 miles.

I got the codes checked again, still got the P0463 (fuel sensor), however the code now is P060E.

Found a couple of similar post, but wanted to provide my specific history:

I dont really want to replace the throttle body if I dont have too... I love the car, but have been having so many technical problems. Any recommendations of what to do next?

Thanks

I had the same problems in my 06 Trailblazer Ext a couple months back, in fact, the same problems to the letter. I have a couple things you can try from suggestions on the board here.... First wiggle the wires around, you may have a loose one between the PCM and the throttle body. If that doesnt do it, check that connector at the TPS, it may be dirty as well. It turned out with mine that the TPS had actually gone out and being integrated into the throttle body, I ended up replacing the whole unit. I did find a deal on that auction site though but picked up a new one locally because I am just impatient like that. One saving grace you have though, its such a common engine that parts are easy to find. Good luck!

Thanks for the info. I was going to check the connections when I noticed the vacuum tube fell off (must of been when I cleaned the throttle body), between the valve cover and intake. I hope that is the issue, I haven't had to drive much, so I am not sure if it resolved the issue, I will be sure to post back the outcome.
