I can only offer what happened to me with the same symptoms. Turned out the tune was not compatiable with the TAC and APP. Once I upgraded to match the tune everything fine.

When mine was reflashed to delete VATS and other stuff the tuner updated to the latest GM which was an '05 tune and it was not compatiable with my APP and TAC. Drove me nuts for a month, borrowed a friend's pedal and all worked fine. He still wants his pedal back. Bottom line is for ME the APP, TAC and tune all have to be one with the world or it keeps going into the limp mode above about 30 percent throttle.
