P1599 - means that the computer detected that the engine stalled when the ignition had not been turned off.
Does your vehicle have a stalling problem?

P2138 - is the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor 1-2 correlation.
The accelerator pedal has a sensor and the throttle actuator has the one as well. the computer expect thats both sensor will read the same as the accelerator pedal is operated. If one sensor read differently from the other the computer will set this code.

Long story short, you'll have to have shop to check this code out for you since a scan tool will be needed in the diagnosis of this code.

My 02 Saturn sl2 will run fie then dies like vapor lock(no fuel). I changed egr,plugs wires fuel filter and scanner says codep1599 ?! I'm at a loss, without going from bumper to bumper

without going from bumper to bumper ????? You need to see what's missing after it dies , spark or fuel pressure . Don't guess ,test an if you don't know how ,take it to a qualified repair shop. Your fixated with vapor lock . Crank sensor , ignition module .

DTC P1599 will set if the PCM has detected an engine stall condition when:
• The engine is in run mode.
• The ignition voltage is present on circuit 439.
• The crankshaft position (CKP) pulses at the PCM are NOT detected.
DTC P1599 is a type D DTC.
The powertrain control module (PCM) has the ability to set a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) if the engine stalls when the ignition has not been turned OFF. This DTC may aid in intermittent diagnosis of a customer complaint of intermittent engine stall. The scan tool Failure Record information can be duplicated under the same stall conditions in an attempt to reproduce the occurrence. Since DTC P1599 is a type D DTC, the PCM will not command the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) or SERVICE telltale On. This DTC can set due to driver error. For example, a vehicle equipped with a manual transaxle in which the clutch was released too quickly causing the engine to stall, will set DTC P1599.

I got error code p1599

Before you replace the sensor, you should check the voltage circuit for the heater. The sensor may be fine and not getting voltage to the heater inside.
The code 1599 just means the engine has stalled at some point. It does not tell you why or how.
I doubt the two codes are related.

Hi, I took my 02 saturn to see why it was idling rough and misfiring, they told me I had a code of p1599. can you tell me what I need to buy to fix this problem? my ca has never stalled.

p1599 refers to TPS (throttle position sensor) Stop by a local parts store (Advance, Autozone, etc) and have them do a free fault scan for you.

Code p2138

P2138 is Throttle Pedal Position Sensor/ Switch D / E Voltage Correlation. Replace the Throttle Pedal Position Sensor/Switch.Remember to have the set code Cleared from the cars computer, this will turn off the check engine light and reset it. Good Luck and have a good XMASS.

I have a p2138 code and when engine light comes on it starts losing power and you to shut off engine and restart and it will go for awhile and it will happen again. next day no problem

There is a GM Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) on this issue, below is a summary;

#07-06-04-019A: Intermittent MIL/SES, DTC P2138 with Reduced Engine Power (Repair Instrument Panel (IP) to Body Harness Connector)

Models: 2005-2008 GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks (Including Saturn)
2005-2008 HUMMER H2
2006-2008 HUMMER H3
2005-2008 Saab 9-7X


Condition

Some customers may comment on an intermittent MIL/SES light Illuminated with a message center or an indicator that displays Reduced Engine Power. DTC P2138 - Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor 1-2 Correlation may be set. The voltage difference between APP sensor 1 and APP sensor 2 exceeds a predetermined value for more than a brief period. Refer to DTC P2138 in SI for further diagnostics.

Cause

On some vehicles, the IP to body harness connector, which carries the APP signal to the ECM/PCM, is located in the left hand kick panel area or inside the IP. Water intrusion into these areas could cause an electrical short in the APP circuits setting a P2138 code.

Correction

Note: Make sure that no add-on/aftermarket equipment is electrically connected to the APP signals or to the other ECM/PCM five volt reference or return lines. These can generate false P2138 and/or other ETC System DTCs. If there are other engine DTCs besides P2138, such as MAP sensor faults (i.e. P0107, P0108), resolve these first before attempting to diagnose P2138 DTCs.

Important: Refer to DTC P2138 in SI to confirm that the ETC pedal is operating correctly.

Locate the IP to body harness connector, which may be located in and around the left hand kick panel area or inside the IP. Check to see if there is a water leak into the area and repair as necessary. Use a water hose to determine the source of a water leak and effectiveness of repair. Some examples of potential water leaks are: A-pillar seals, sunroof drain lines (if so equipped) and windshield/cowl sealing. Finally, repair or replace the IP to body harness connector, making sure no corrosion or debris is left on or between the terminals.
