1 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 11/03/2017

Car goes into fail safe each and every time it is driven. It did so 19 times today. I connected a code reader which identified the problems as being related to the throttle control and the throttle body. I purchased the car 1 1/2 months ago. Prior owner had the throttle body replaced with a new mopar unit 4 months ago/ 2000. Miles ago. Don't want to replace it again since this is likely not the problem.

3 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 04/09/2009

Car starts and runs rough, then surges forward. Have to hold the brake hard. Car then stalls and gives "etc engine failure". Upon restart car will run fine for a while. Dealer cannot identify the problem, as it does not consistently throw a code, replaced the coils.
