Just re-set the APPS, by unplugging it when running and shutdown , restart plug it back in , shutdown go to ACC/RUN do not start clear code and see what happens, You will need Alfa or WITech to remove Service electronic throttle control.
That failed big time now my cel is on and it won’t shift outta gear!

CEL is on for what? ,this has been done many times without issues.
All this procedure does is re-set the APPS to learn mode, that's it. I would repeat and see what happens.

trust me. you've likely not seen the last of it. I was where you guys are a couple years ago, now it's every quarter mile. changed every sensor and brake and pedal, no good. truck is not driveable now unless loud turboless limp mode is acceptable.

When my truck had 20k on it the throttle code came up. Took to the dealer and he changed air filter and cleared code and it never came back on. I wouldn't have believed it but he said that was the procedure and it worked. So I change my air filter at 20 k now and going to start changing the fuel filter at 10k cause it's recommended after high pressure pump change.

After wrestling this for months, I'm starting to think it was a BP selling me a bunch of water at the bottom of their underground tank. I was filling and the pump kept shutting off. So stopped at 5 gallons and was going to go on my way. the truck cranked and cranked, wouldn't start, till it did after a while. Never started the same again. I had changed my fuel filter, kept having intermittent problems and SETC. As I'd used increasingly more Diesel Kleen water remover when tank is low then adding fuel it's getting a lot better but still popping on. But miles, maybe 20, vs feet as in 500 sometimes when it was worst. Just throwing this out there for people. Truck always started instantaneously, like throwing a switch. Now it turns over like most other cars, sounds different, take a little longer. All since that night with the bad fuel. that's when the code got increasingly more frequent till it was just ridiculous and couldn't keep it off. who knows though, maybe cuz I didn't get the SETC off with alfa. Bought alfa again would love to try deleting it the right way and see if I'm free of it.

The bypass was engaged you pump 5 gallons of contaminated fuel in tank... Your entire fuel system will likely to be replaced. Remove FCA and check if it looks like this.

thanks for the insight. that's the bypass you're holding? where is that located? what characteristic exactly am I looking for when I get that piece out to tell me if it's fubar'd or salvageable?

yes, been very worried it destroyed the whole system. would that be my injectors on back?

thanks again.
