So I was driving home from work yesterday and I pulled away from a stop sign when my Jeep kind of hesitated to accelerate. Immediately a light that looks like a lightning bolt with reversed parentheses around it came on (throttle?) and my temperature gauge dropped down to cold. (Also my check engine light was on which isn’t uncommon, it usually has a p0406 code because of my lack of a muffler).
My first instinct was to pull over and make sure I had antifreeze and oil, both were full. So I went ahead and drove home. Once I got on the highway I noticed that it wasn’t shifting into top gear. I was doing 65mph at about 3200 rpm, which is not normal. Once I was almost home I realized that the temp gauge was back in the middle, but when I let off the gas it would go down to 1/4 (between cold and normal).
On my way to work today I stopped at Napa and had them read the engine light codes, it showed p0344 and p0116 which is the camshaft position sensor and the engine coolant temperature sensor. Why would I have both of these? It doesn’t seem like these would be related to each other to me. The throttle control light coming on just baffles me even more. I appreciate any help
