Default Reduced engine power nightmare

Hello to all!! I could really use some help, I am having problems with the elusive reduced power scenario that seems to plague us all.. I have changed and cleaned my throttle body, cleaned the ground on the rear of the pass. head. I have added an extra body ground and also cleaned the ground under front of engine. I have also installed a new sensor on the side of the pedal. Still runs for a bit then BAM it's on!! I carry a code clearer with me and when it happens I clear the code, get it going and then set cruise, I have only had it come on once with cruise. I also accell my speed via cruise. I have also replaced the module on driver rear firewall, next to the hood hinge. I AM LOST AS WHAT TO DO NEXT!! Can any one help? I have heard I could have the ECM reprogrammed and making the codes a problem of the past. I have heard this is possible and also that HP tuners is an option.Does anyone have any suggestions on this?? Thanks for any and all help!!

What type of car? What codes are you getting? What new sensors did you install?

Boosted vehicle?

Nobody should be seeing that with a stock, or NA vehicle.

Sorry guys, I have an 03 suburban 5.3. I have replaced the throttle body, Checked grounds, replace TAC module on firewall, Replaced the sensor on side of fuel pedal. I have performed tug test on throttle body plug with no change and all wires feel good, I see no signs of broken wire in plug. The pedal sensor was a Dorman as GM doesn't offer it without replacing the complete pedal. I was just wondering if I need to bite the bullett and replace with factory replacement or replace the Throttle plug in hopes that I am losing connection..Any suggestions??
