Order of inspection
P2118 Throttle Actuator Control Motor Current Range/Performance High
The P2118 code means the electronic throttle motor is drawing too much current. It can put the engine in limp mode with limited power and a high or unstable idle. A worn or binding motor is the usual suspect, but check the fuse, connector and wiring first.
