Etc Failsafe Mode

[kjw86ca]

My car keeps randomly going into ETC failsafe mode and code p2110 and 2107- after some searching on this form it seems that it could be the #4 coil messing with things? I am thinking it is because I can restart the car right after it goes into fail safe and it runs perfect. It only seems to happen when under load, like when going around a corner and trying to accelerate in 4th gear - car will shudder slightly and go into fail safe mode.

What do you guys think?

My other question is, what is the order of the spark plugs? Where is #4? I would like to try a new coil before moving onto something more expensive.

My car has been intermittently doing this too. Also seems to do it very frequently when AC is on. People may say it's coils, and it very may well be, but I also suspect it could be the first year electronic throttle body we've got. I hope it's not, and I've been putting off going to the dealer to get it checked. Gonna have to go soon though. ETB's are expensive

Just wanted to give an update...

Thanks to the forums here my problem is fixed! thank you! After searching, I discovered it may have been the #4 coil...I replaced it Friday and no problems since!
