Code P-2101 help. Throttle Body Actuator

[rascole]

Yesterday I replaced the coils with new Delphi units. I let it sit with the battery disconnected for 30 minutes and fired it up. Ran great, until I shut it down and restarted it. Then it ran like it was misfiring. Ran a code check with Torque Pro and P-2101 came up, throttle actuator error. I cleared the code and it started up fine and ran great. When i got home I disconnected the battery again, cleaned the TB and it fired right up. But it still throws the code and goes to reduced power. Looking at the Torque Pro gauges the throttle position sensor appears to be working fine. When the code is clear, I put it in neutral and it revs fine and all sensors look normal. When the code comes in the throttle position sensor is locked at 29%. Is the TB bad and it is just a coincidence?

Check the connector on the throttle body. A reduced power message means the pcm has gone into safe mode. Either the throttle body feedback potentiometers didn't match the ecm commanded position, OR the accelerator pedal position sensors did not agree.

Thanks, that is next on the list. Disconnected the battery again while I installed the sPod. At least that is done. Need to take a dinner and beer break.
