V8 Vanatage - Fault Code P2106
Discussion
Hi all,
Firstly, apologies if this topic has been raised before. I couldn't find anything related under the search.
Took my '06 V8 Vantage for a drive yesterday. It was immediately apparent there was an issue with lack of power, it didn't sound right, as though not all cylinders were running. Lots of backfiring and limited revs available.
Had the AA to have a look this morning and when they plugged into one of the ECU's, it came up with fault code P2106 - Throttle actuator control system. He cleared the code and when I took it for a quick spin afterwards it seemed to be ok.
Speaking with the AA guy who seemed to know a little bit about the car, it seems as that the most likely cause is because I haven't been able to give it a good run for a little while and been doing short journeys around town lately, the throttle actuator may have become clogged up.
Has anyone else suffered similar issues on theirs, and is it something a good blast will clear out properly now, or should I look to have the valve cleaned out at the garage to make sure it's performing properly and I don't get a repeat? Obviously I'll need to make sure it gets a good run at least once a week too, to stop it clogging again - no complaints there!!
Cheers, Jon
