It is in limp mode, it is likely that there is a problem with the throttle body. A scan tool needs to be connected to read the trouble codes.

Depends on if the throttle body is for that specific vehicle. If it is no but some throttle bodys will fit different vehicles and if it's not the exact one for yours then yes you will have to take it to a dealer and have it reprogrammed.
