Your going to have to have all the computers in your car scanned for codes and get the exact code numbers you have. Its not going to be a easy diagnoses most likely.

You have a ton of throttle postion coedes and throttle circuit codes plus some codes I cant find that exist for that car. Lets start with the code P0221. Do you have a multimeter to do some testing?

I don't but my mechanic may, is
There an electrical problem as well like the engine harness wire? Do you think I need a new throttle body cause I change the throttle position sensor already and I had the computer relearn it to calibrate it.

How did you replace the tps when its part of the throttle body?You will also need a scan tool that reads livew data to monitor the tps readings for the first part of the test.

Guess what I found out the problem, when I remove the harness wire form the tps I notice that there are 6 prongs inside and two were bent, once I straighten them up and places the harness back in carefully it ran perfect.
