My 2007 chevy impala lt engine size 3.5 liter went into reduced engine power a month ago I was told to check the gas cap i removed and re-fastened it about 30 mins later power was back to normal during reduced engine power mode the traction control light was on and check engine light as well. I ended up replacing the gas cap and it was fine for the last month yesterday it went back into engine reduced power mode Autozone hooked it to a computer and it gave me a code P2122 they told me the gas cap has nothing to do with reduced engine power. What do you suggest I do is it the gas cap or the app sensor?

It is the APP sensors , Your vehicle has electronic throttle control . P2122 Throttle Pedal Position Sensor Switch Circuit Low Your best bet would be to take it to a qualified repair shop .

I have a 2010 Chevy impala. Reduced engine power and check engine light also comes on but won't stay on. Codes are P2138 P2122 P0455

Hi Rosalee_IM,
The codes your vehicle is storing are for low voltage from your accelerator pedal position sensor and a gross evaporative emission leak. The code P2122 and P2138 are directing you to test the accelerator pedal position circuit and/ or sensor. This is the cause of the reduced power concern you are feeling.The P0455 is telling you there is a large leak in the evaporative emission system. The most common cause for this code is a loose or incorrectly installed gas cap.I hope this helps clarify the concerns you are experiencing. If you'd like more information on how to trouble shoot the problems,drop me a line. Please include the model Impala you have,(LS,LT or LTZ) and the engine size. I will do my best to get back to you as soon as possible.Thanks, Chuck

I got code p2176 I changed out the tps still got same problem did not have this problem with other engine just changed engine out now cant seem to get this code off causing the car to rough idle and low...

P2176=Throttle Actuator Control System - Idle Position Not Learned
Did you use all you old sensors,or is some of them from the new engine,I would swap out the IAC sensor or check for wires not hooked up.
If it can't relearn to idle the Idle air control might be different then your old one,but its not registering with the computer

Service Throttle Control

It sounds like these things are all related. When the a computer sees a problem in the Electronic throttle system, it will dissable traction control, and give the reduced engine power alert because the powertrain computer does not know the value of throttle postion.
Codes will need to be scanned in the computersto begin diagnosis.
