I have a 2008 pt cruiser non turbo hardtop. Keep getting code 0822. Changed both input and output speed sensors. Problem persisted and car keeps going into limp mode. Check grounds, and all harnesses going to tipm. All checked out good. Had tipm sent out to be diagnosed and it came back good. Installed tipm as per shops instructions and now car won't crank. Re learned the security by using fob to lock and unlock doors 10 times. Still won't start. Turn key and just get a noise but starter is not engaging. Anyone have a clue?

P0717 isn't a valid fault code for a 2008 PT non-turbo & automatic transaxle. The TIPM can store fault codes also, but they may not be OBD2 codes and need a scan tool capable of reading Body codes:

P0882 is power to the transaxle is low. Nothing to do with the speed sensors. The (EATX) relay is probably off for protection. If the TCM doesn't know if it is in Park or Neutral, it won't allow the starter to engage.
The relay will stay off if it senses an issue that could be unsafe or cause damage if the transaxle was powered up.
It is a 'safety' relay.
Have the TIPM scanned for fault codes?

Possibly related TIPM codes:

P128B-TCM POWER CONTROL CIRCUIT 2 LOW
P128C-TCM POWER CONTROL CIRCUIT 2 HIGH - 41TE NGC
P128D-TCM POWER CONTROL CIRCUIT 2 OPEN - 41TE NGC
P128E-TCM POWER CONTROL CIRCUIT 2 OVERCURRENT - 41TE NGC
P1277-STARTER CONTROL CIRCUIT 2 LOW
P1278-STARTER CONTROL CIRCUIT 2 HIGH
P1279-STARTER CONTROL CIRCUIT 2 OPEN
P127A-STARTER CONTROL CIRCUIT 2 OVERCURRENT

You need a capable scan tool to read TIPM codes. A Powertrain (OBD2) code reader may not have that capability.
Any stored fault codes may have been erased by disconnecting the TIPM or the battery.
The problem may not be in the TIPM itself. It could be in the wiring harness?

pt cruiser p0882 and p0700 codes

the problem i'm having is while driving at 60mph my pt decided to shift into 3rd or limp mode. i let the car sit for about 10 to 20 minutes and things are good... for a while. then here we go again. at first the alternator was only charging at 12.66 volts and the battery was good, according to...

I would prove that the starter itself has failed first.

Same as the 1960's, you have a fat and a thin wire going to the starter. The fat wire from the battery has power all the time. The thin wire only has power when the key is in the 'start' position (in this case, the car is probably not letting this happen).
If you run a 12 volt jumper from the battery to the post that the thin wire attaches to, the car should crank. Make absolutely sure that the car is in Park when trying this.

When I had to learn 'digital', my instructor said not to sweat it, it's all just ones and zeros.

Is the battery charged?
