    EPC light on, Throttle Position Sensor code - Ultracharged B8 S4

    Hey Guys - I was just sitting at idle this am and all the sudden I felt the car start to feel like it was misfiring.

    the EPC light came on and when I started driving it felt like the car was in some kind of limp mode (maybe 10% power available).

    I pulled out the VAGCOM and got this.

    6529 - Throttle Position Sensor (G69)

    I reset the codes and the car was fine for about 20 mins. Then the exact same thing happened again. Any idea what to start looking at in the troubleshooting process?

    Have you done a throttle body adaptation? I’m not sure if that would have any impact but it’s simple enough. Otherwise have you shared with APR? I assume you’re running all their hardware and software?

    Check the pins in the adapter harness and make sure that they are all properly seated and the connector is good.
