Check the ( ETCS ). Electronic Throttle Control System ) fuse. Fuse should be located in the fuse box under the hood. Owners Manual would tell you exactly what fuse it is and location.
Thanks a lot will definitely will check. Could a bad spark plug cause this ?
There's not a fuse for that...don't see it in manual

Yes a fouled or missing spark plug can cause your problem.

When was last time you had a tune up ? And does your owners manual say anything about the wrench light what is causing it to come on ?

You may not have that fuse but take a look at the fuses some you can tell by just looking at it and see if it's blown.

Check out this web site ( https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=Ew-IRLFBtr ) Going by what they are saying even you may have just put this part on but it is bad
Won't come up I copied address says its invalid.
Thanks so much by the way for answering me

This is what I Googled to get to that site. ( Codes p2104 and p2112 ) and no problem glad I could be of some service.
I can drive my car but it shuts off every time I get a couple feet and when it does shut off the ranch light pops up and it says failsafe and remote or sometimes it'll just got off
mine is going limp and I cant connect to obd but wrench light blinks
Did you ever figure out what was causing the wrench light to keep going on? I have been having the same problem with my 2005 Thunderbird. The dealer has replaced the throttle charger and a couple more coils, the wrench light still coming on. Now the dealer says I need to replace the PCM. I do have an extended warranty but each repair I still must pay $100. Plus the frustration and confusion! Anyone have any suggestions? Have you had to replace the PCM because the wrench light came on?
