Never ever disconnect main power without connecting the memory saver tool, you can cause more problems with the computer systems. Cam and crank sensors are hte most common causes for this. But what are the codes?

Hi thank you for looking into this issue. The codes are P2110. P060C. P2107 Thanks again

P2110 indicates a problem with throttle control. P060C is not good, it means there is a problem with the main computers performance, usually means the ECM has an internal problem. P2107 is also a throttle body related problem. So have the P060C diagnosed first, 2008 hopefully you can still get parts.
