2018 Journey 2.4L CEL(Check engine light), ETC (Electronic Throttle Control) light (lightning bolt) and traction control light on. Stalling and limp mode FIXED in FIRST ATTEMPT(So far lol)

[MLitty]

Mechanically inclined individual but no mechanic by profession.

To make it brief as possible. I sat in my Journey with the a/c running while watching my kids ride bikes.When we pulled off to head home all 3 lights mentioned in title activated and we went limp. Luckily I live 2 minutes away. I did my due dilegence by reasearch from here to youtube and other places.I used what Ive seen from comments of randoms with similar problems to the mechanics chiming in. Most insisted on a new throttle body yet you will find many have but still continued to have the problem occur. Only a few exceptions of successful outcomes. That let me know that I may be throwing money away going that route. Another Journey owner on this site ( nnngn_zero)    made mention of  the oil pressure sensor connector being the culprit. It was that message which led me to light. I recalled recently that my oil light never came on as of recent so it made sense theoretically to me that in my case it wasnt the sensor connector but may the OIL PRESSURE SWITCH itself causing the lights and limp.

So I made that my focus. Furthermore since I had to remove the intake manifold to access it I simply put hands on the other possibles and recommendations.

I PUT IN A NEW OIL PRESSURE SWITCH
CLEANED THROTTLE BODY AND INTAKE SURFACE WITH THROTTLE BODY CLEANER
PUT IN NEW THROTTLE BODY GASKET AS WELL AS INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET WHILE I WAS IN THERE

SAVED MONEY!!!!! THREW AWAY NONE!!!!  
I HOPE THIS MESSAGE CHANGES ALL DODGE JOURNEY OWNERS OUTCOMES WITH THE LIGHTENING BOLT.

welcome to the group... great you got it fixed, yrs ago my oil pressure sending unit went bad while on a tgrip ,the unit maxed out on high pressure but the journey never went into limp mode i made it to the next dodge dealership and they replaced it under warranty, he said a lot of 2014 were having this problem due to the unit shorting out but that their was no actual problem with the oil pump and pumping the oil
