Hi. We are getting differing warning messages (with concurrent drop to safe engine power) on my 2000 coupe, VIN NA00353. So far, the latest opinion - after much diagnostic time spent- is that this could be 1) low ATF (altho' it has just been completely changed) or 2) incorrect throttle body fitted.
Since the warning messages (and safe engine power mode) were appearing before the ATF change, I feel that the second option may be more correct, but I am trying to get a definitive answer to the correct part number. My main dealer seems rather less than helpful. Has anyone any suggestions or experienced similar unhelpful infornation messages?

 

I think your throttle body is either :
C2A1470 - 4.0 non-supercharged
or
C2A1444 - 4.0 non-supercharged with air-assisted fuel injection.

Others with more knowledge and experience may be able to correct me, but I think an easy way to tell the difference, is that if you have ignition coils with two wires, it's the early C2A1470, and if you have 4 wire coils, it's the later C2A1444. There's also obvious differences with the amount of pipes connected.
Have a look at page 32 of the excellent online catalogue from this forum's sponsor S N G Barratt - that shows both, and the visual differences between them. My guess for a 2000 model would be the later C2A1444, but my knowledge is a bit limited !

Hi.
From JEPC:

 

What are the codes?

 

Update.

Searching for LNE 1560AE on the excellent SNG Barratt website shows this part superseded by C2A !444.
