2004 Power Loss

[eunos420]

Saturday, 07/25/15 I was washing it and had the radio on, as I often do, when I went to start it, it was slow in turning over but it started. I figured I had just let the radio play to long.

Today, Thursday 07/30/15, I went to get start it, first day since Saturday, and it did the same thing except it took 3 times for me to get it to start. It was slow in turning over and it did the clicking thing also. After it started the check engine symbol was on also followed by a "engine power loss" read out. It would go into gear but there was not any pull to the engine. Kind of like I still had it in neutral. The engine also seemed to vibrate.

Throttle position sensor or throttle body???

Thanks guys for any & all help..

TPS or throttle body will not cause a slow crank or click. How old is the battery?

I'll check on the age.

Even if the battery needs replacing that wouldn't cause the power loss would it? It did act like the battery needs replacing but I don't understand that when I hit the gas pedal it wouldn't move...

The battery needs to be good to complete the circuit for the alternator circuit that feeds power to the injectors. If you have an alternator going bad then the injectors will run off the battery till the power is gone and then engine dies. This is just basics. Good battery and alternator mean at least a chance for the injectors to work right.

Gotcha, I'll check those things and let you know how it comes out. Thanks for the help....
