Silverado 2500

  • 215,000 miles
Check engine light came on and "low engine power" flashed where the odometer is. This caused the RPM's not to go over 2800. Code reader claims O2 sensors or throttle control module or catalytic convertor issues. We discovered it was none of the above. To fix problem change 3 relays located under hood in fuse box. Relay #8864. Then clear codes, should fix issue unless code persists. Relays will cause a fire if not changed out asap.
