Code #2

Customer complains that forklift back fires severely then stopped running. Found badly corroded distributor. Replaced distributor. Now runs but hard starting when warm. Starts fine when cold. Blink code #2 becomes active after a few minutes of throttle operation. Changed all propane system including tank, hoses and converter. All ignition is good and in time...I believe. Changed out throttle sensor with a known good sensor and code still becomes active. Is this a straight forward throttle body replacement? Or should I be chasing a different source?Any help, please

Make: Toyota
Model: 7FGU30
Ser: 61479
Engine: 4y ECS

Open or short circuit signal from
acceleration sensor

I would start by checking the wires at the connectors.

I ain't no Toyota ECS ex-spurt, but I bet you will need the (Toyota propriety) handset to set the pot in the step to match the throttle body.
