I dont think this is a case of parts changed... the probability of 3 different failures arising from inferior parts is...... quite low.... very very low.
seems like an electrical issue.

1. if vehicle is not flooded then the issue might be an intermittent issue... most likely a short or a wrong ground connection. two popular scenarios can play out here.

2. first scenario,fuse went out.. mechanic told u its the throttle sensor and u paid for it. mecho fused throttle fuse with copper wire and installed it back. vehicle works and when the issue starts... fuse that should blow doesn't blow cos it has been overridden. then sensor gets the extreme high current and gets damaged.

3 second scenario.... vehicle enters limp mode after a period of drive cycles. mecho removes battery terminals when installing a new one. ecu resets and codes are temporarily cleared then vehicle is driven till it reaches its threshold for that particular limp code... when it throws the code, it's deactivates the throttle sensor and it feels like a damaged sensor



u see the importance of scanning a vehicle?
in fact frsc should mandate it... like fire extinguisher

whether u know how to use it or not just have it in the car

I might be wrong though.

Thanks a lot guys. I gave the car to a mechanic who did the diagnostic. I will post the code on this thread tomorrow morning.
I really appreciate the comment guys.
Hi. Please what was the diagnosis for this?
I’m having exactly the same issues.
I’ve changed throttle body sensor three times now and they keep going bad after two weeks
