Default P0121 DTC code

Anybody seen this one before?

The generic writeup is: "throttle pedal position sensor/switch A circuit range/performance problem".

I've been fighting a low throttle opening surge, been attributing it to my new cam and tuning, but maybe not.

If you are still under warranty, have the dealer change the sensor - it is a simple R&R. If not, get the part from Gene Culley at GMPartsHouse.com and do it your self.

Since you mentioned the cam I'd say it's a tune problem. The P0121 (and P0101 and P0106) codes can pop up due to the airflow and or MAP delta does not fall within range of the table. There are three tables in the Engine Diags/General tab (In HP Tuners), Max airflow VS: RPM and Max airflow delta VS: TPS and Max MAP delta VS: TPS.
