sick and tired from these codes!! :(
I'm getting a new set of codes now!!!
P2119 and P2135 they're for the throttle..
you can say that I am in the "HATING MY CORVETTE" level because of these stupid codes!
I know it's not my harness at all because the car is new (16000 KM) and I bought it from the dealer on 8/2006!
anyone had this? and what have you done to fix it? did you changed it or what???????????????????
I appreciate any help you offer!

Is it possible the throttle plate is sticking with sand in it? Have you checked your air filter? If the throttle plate doesn't move completely freely as it should it will throw a code. Good luck getting this resolved.

P2119 will show up when the throttle position does not return to rest in less than 720 ms (after letting off the throttle).
P2135 will show up when the throttle position sensor 1 and throttle position sensor 2 inputs to the computer are different for more than 2 seconds.
Looks to me like you have a loose or failing throttle position sensor in the throttle body. A sticking throttle body alone would not give the P2135 code but could give a P2119 code.
Hope you get it fixed.

If the throttle body is changed out or altered, the computer has to learn what the voltage is when the throttle is closed and then at idle. If you disconnect the battery for 30 minutes and then reconnect, start the car, and let it idle for 3 minutes or so, it will re-learn the idle position signals to the computer. This MIGHT help. It will also need to relearn the closed window positions. Do a search on "window indexing".
You should try it, just to see if it stops the codes. It may not clear the P2135 code, however.

Make sure the screws are tight on the throttle position sensors. One sensor signal is different from the other one enough to throw the codes for some reason, and the computer thinks the throttle is not at idle when it really is at idle.
The procedure in the '07 manual says idle in park for 3 minutes, shut down for 60 seconds, restart and idle for 3 minutes. If codes show up during this procedure, clear them so that the process can continue.
If the car doesn't idle properly, go drive it some at speeds above 44 mph 70 km/h with several decels and extended idle periods and it should learn once again. If not, turn off for 60 seconds and then let it idle again for 3 minutes, clear any codes.
No mention of disconnecting the battery in an '07 in the shop manual.

When you open the doors, the window glass retracks about 1/2 " to exit the rubber weatherstripping. After disconnecting the battery, the window must be retrained (indexed) to do this. Enter the car, power the windows to the down position, then raise the glass. Then pull the window switches up and hold for 5 to 10 seconds. That should do it. (Also covered in your owners manual). Think you should also consider replacing the TPS (warrenty??) Good luck

once I am home I'll give it a try.. the problem is when the codes appears.. I clear them and disconnect the TPS for like 10 seconds and I re-connect it again. then the car is fine.. but after 3 days the codes come back again and I hate this!!!! I'll try your method today once I finish my work.
Thanks again Joe!

I'll do the windows indexing as you told me today after d\c the battery 
yeah I'll do what Joe told me about, and if it's the same I think I'm gonna buy a new TPS then..
TY!

Since you are far away and may not be close to a dealer, it may be wise for you to consider purchasing the Factory Service Manuals to guide you through some of these tests/procedures. I'm sure Gene Culley could help on that matter.
