Default Fly by wire throttle problems

Hi all

I am having an intermittent fault with my fly by wire throttle. It keeps flat lining and not responding at all at random times. If i turn the motor of and back on again after a minute or two everything is back to normal. I have changed the throttle position sensor but it still happens. Any ideas on the next thing to try. It's about 5 years old and is a GM run kit. TIA Steve

I'd try swapping out the accelerator pedal position sensor (might be a single unit that includes the pedal itself) and the throttle body. Starting with whichever is cheaper.

I had the EXACT same issue with my LS3 swapped in engine using GM swap harness, all went away when I replaced my PCM. And now a friend is having the same issue with his LS2 with E40 PCM, we replaced both the pedal and the TB with no luck, that problem happened right after he got SD tuned his car.
