throttle position sensor
hey i'm wondering if anyhone has had their car throw this code (throttle positon sensor ). i checked it at advance auto parts. after the care threw this error code it no longer picks up the power band. in regular daily driving it downshifts fine through all of the gears but when i floor it it just revs up to the red line but does not pick up the power band. i called the dealership and they said that there is two throttle position sensors one on the gas peddle and one on the throttle body. honestly i thought it was the tranny but i need some feedback can u guys help me out? thanks in advance (2005 c6 regular)

i have on 05 m6 aswell. the tps is part of the tbody. the gas pedal has the pedal position sensor attached to it. unless you have ported the tbody or changed to cold air intake, your problem is more than likely the pedal, @ $125 from the dealer and 15 minute swap. mine had a "dead spot" in it that went bad without warning. it was a problem on gto's and early c6. the dealer normaly stocks the pedal.
good luck

well i switched out the throttle body with a 5.3 chevy truck and after disconnecting the battery it picked up the new tables and did the same thing. so i guess i will start with the pedal then. my cousin says that this may be because the tranny is low on tranny fluid from all the racing. and yes i did add a cold air intake to it. it almost feels like the car is not tuned to shift because if i floor from a dead stop it will run up the first gear all the way to the red line on the power band. thanks for the input.
