SOURCE: i have codes po 638, 121, 221 does all these mean

I believe it's all related to youe brake light switch. There is a recall on it. It sticks and causes the epc kight to flash, also causing your other stated issues. If recall working has been done, buy the dealer switch. It's easy to replace.

SOURCE: whaen car idles its fine

Sounds like your turbo is done. If oil is coming out and it won't build boost, it's your turbo. I wouldn't push my luck. If you continue to try to drive the car and the turbo finally goes to pieces. Those pieces will most likely go down inside your motor and that would be an expensive mess to clean up. Sorry. Don't forget to give a vote. thanks.

Hi Dolph, Take the vehicle for a diagnostic scan. I suspect something wrong with the air flow sensor or mapping sensor. Regards John

I had my throttle body changed in September since then about ever 2 - 3 weeks my car will only idle, it does not respond when i press the gas and the check engine light comes on with a P1122 code

Hi
for what reason you had your throttle body replaced?
does the old one had the same problem?
if yes, that means you have a wiring problem.
if no, that means the throttle body that you fit is faulty.
ADD to that, when you replace a throttle body on nissan vehicle, you need to run throttle learning, this should be done by capable diagnostic machine/technician.
Good luck

My 2010 buick 3.8 ltr super charged eng shuts off while im driving why

Remove the air cleaner intake tube and buy some throttle body cleaner spray on a rag open throttle manually and clean the most carbon you can from around the flap.
If you remove the throttle body and clean it outside of vehicle it will be much better.
If the intake is plastic then you will have rubber o ring behind throttle body no need to replace it is reusable.
If the intake is aluminum then it will have paper gasket and the possibilitys of breaking it is high. So if you decide to remove make sure someone has gasket in stock whether its dealer or local autoparts.

Idle air control is built in to throttle body it gets excessive carbon deposits if you use low octane fuel like (87) when it fills with carbon it restricts the air amount at closed throttle and cause car to shut off.

The TC light automatically comes on

What's the "TC" sign? Guessing from the rest of your question, it sounds like your throttle body is dirty. try to clean it with throttle body cleaner & see if that helps.

Car sometimes jerks when idle and wont accelerate when this happens

crank sensors fail on these very frequently,causing running issues. if service engine soon light is on, then your mechanic should be able to pull something from computer. sounds to me like he doesn't know what he is doing. get your self a new mechanic. that light doesn't come on just for fun. it comes on to tell you that there is a problem. if a throttle body is an issue, he should have pulled P0507 ICS system. If so, there may be an issue with the throttle body. have seen few with computer issue causing throttle body code, but those are rare. most likely throttle body, but depend on code number.

When driveing truck in cold weather you lose throttle going down the road but it will still idle and you must stop and put it in park shut engin off recrank and it will run until it does it again

im assuming the reduced power message comes on where the odometer is, try cleaning the throttle body with some throttle body spray cleaner.the carbon build up in the t.b.i. will cause false throttle position sensor readings .if indeed the reduced power warning is coming on and cleaning the t.b.i. does not rectify the problem, the throttle body may need to be replaced. approx. 100.00 at kragen,auto zone,ect
