Complete Loss of Power
I was driving one day (not even spirited) and the CEL, TCS, and Slip light all came on at once. The gas pedal wasn't doing jack ****. So I pulled over and gave her a good restart and now just the CEL is on. From reading I figured it was a crank or cam shaft. I took her to the dealership today and they wanted $160 just for a diagnosis. I left immediately and went to the AutoZone that is less than a mile away to get it scanned for free. Came up with code p2135 which has nothing to do with cam or crank shaft sensors. This problem appears to be throttle body or throttle actuator. I don't think it's my TB because I just put in a brand new CZP 75 mm throttle body. Most people say to forget this code and clear it, but if it comes back get it looked at. What's my best option here? If I wanted to clear it without a scanner can't I just disconnect and reconnect the battery? Thank y'all

You, as in you yourself installed the 75mm TB recently? Full tune... or not?
If no tune, you were just asking for trouble / no enough research. Using the 75mm TB you'll get issues, usually idle related though, if you don't adjust the AFR down low in the RPM range. My DE ran like absolute crap the day it was installed, all of 6 minutes of **** driving to get to the tuner. Then post-tune that was solved, smooth idle & no lights on the dash. Remove the WOT limitation from the ECU when you get the tune, then have fun with the difference it will make off-the-line.
