You need to use a fault code reader to see why the engine management light has come on and hopefully this will help you fix the car.

I do not understand what you mean by "kicks the fan when I start it".
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

Inside every old person is a young person wondering what the hell happened.

I tried running it through the diagnosis and it told me throttle sensor was faulty I tried reseting it and ended up buying a new one but still the problem persist

@Paul-R when I say it kicks the fan I mean it turn the fan on as soon as I start it

It turns the fan on as soon as I put it on start and then doesn't accelerate

What diagnostic machine are you using? If it's too basic it might not see all the DTCs stored.

Could you put the fault code on here so we can see what else the fault might be.

Can you see live data with your tool? specifically the coolant temperature.
