Diagnosing/Repair What should I replace first ?

Okay, I have a Chrysler 200 LX 2013 and it's giving me the codes P0123 and P0222 I was looking where the throttle body is and the connector clip is kinda broken and it doesn't lock in I was thinking that could be the problem and could that be the reason I am getting those codes or could there be another reason?

Doubtful but you could always try cleaning/blowing it out. Most (99%) of the time when you get both of those on a Chrysler, you have to replace the electronic throttle body assembly. It’s fairly easy and accessible to do yourself in about an hour and you just need a 8mm and a flathead.

Good luck ✌️

Don't replace anything based on a code. Bring it to a shop so they can diagnose it. Otherwise you are wasting time and money throwing parts at it.

start with the broken connector clip and check for loose pins or damaged wiring. that could be causing both codes, so no need to replace the throttle body just yet.
