Default C6 2005 throttle position issues

Update in something guys I was having a traction control and reduced engine power ...alone with throttle position sensor ... cleaned up the throttle body ..and throttle sensor on the gas pedal with electrical cleaner unplugged spray some and plug back ...no more issues but one thing that you can experience is the rpms a Lil higher also when release gas pedal you can feel your car accelerated ..even with your feet out of the gas pedal today going to work I pressed big butty blue to 90mph and it seems like throttle body is working how suppose to be...my advice is...if you clean TPS wait for the computer to communicate with the sensors ...it can take some time

That was one hard-to-follow explanation. I hope your car is fixed, and all is okay.

A, The throttle body spray did not get any where near the electronics of the TB, so problem was probably that the TB connector itself had a problem. Hence unplugging it, and plugging it back in, is what caused the correction to DTC problem.
B, the delay problem you are having now, may still be the electronics of the TB problems, but would dare to guess that the problem is more likely the dirty MAF sensor that needs a good cleaning as well.
