Thanks for the input zstig....
Battery was replaced shortly after the alternator (had it checked, it had a dead cell).
The problem with the lights persisted after replacement of alt. and bat. The car is not in limp mode....although now the three lights stay on 90% of the time (before it was more like 40% of the time)...not sure what causes them to turn off when i start the car sometimes.
I'll give the throttle position sensor a try, though I took it to another local indie shop (much more reputable than the first I went to); they ran some pretty extensive tests and they came to the conclusion that the module needs replacement.
According to them, after a certain point, they were unable to get the fault codes cleared, and thus were unable to test the module by trying to manually engage it.
Should I try sending the module to MM?
