Default Reduced Engine Power

Does everyone have a solution to this problem I have already had the throttle body replaced & programmed and the car still sticks down while driving.

It's more than likely the sensor in your pedal assembly. If not check for breaks in the wires.

But it sounds like it's missing & is going to cut off even though I need tuneup & it still says starting disabled due to electronic throttle body also but I'm going to try the sensor for the pedal
