The codes relate to throttle position sensor. I usually want to check sensor wiring circuits first. Ref voltage--ground and signal wires. You can use digital multimeter, backprobe signal wire, key on, no need to start it, check that the voltage readings on the meter move up and down smoothly, no glitches or cutouts on the reading. If all that checks out, I don't see the problem, at the moment.
