Default Code 1120 Help!

408 Cubic inch motor w/ 500 rwhp. Bought the car 3 weeks ago, and had no problems. Took it to a well known tuner Tuseday and the next day it started w/ P 1120 code, and saying reduce power. I've reserched it and talked to the tuner, hearing throttle control sensor, and other jargen I don't understand.

When he started the tune, he said the car was rich in the beginning and to lean at the end. Tuned the car lean at the low RPMS and more rich at high RPMS.

The code started yesterday and I was able to get it clear. Came back last night and got it cleared. Car ran great and had to take it to dealership for alignment. Went to get it and the code was there. Cleared it, but the car would not idle and seemed rich as hell. Is all this related to the same problem? Man I would love to here someone say they know just what the problem is. Any ideas and experience will be appretiated.

PS. Its weird that this started the day after the $450 tune?

I was also wonder if the car is tuned to rich if it could clog or effect the sensors to cause this problem?

Thanks for the help. I found this last night. I also pulled it up at the dealership and they said it was the same info GM provided for them. Thanks again for the input.
