And you have a reply. I attached it as a Word file as it keeps it all nicely in the template format that is on GM's site.

DTC P0121 TPS Insufficient Activity;

If NO MAP sensor or TP sensor DTCs are set, the engine has run more than 10 seconds, the engine IS warm, verify IAC is between 0 - 255 counts, the MAP is less than 55kPa OR the MAP is greater than 65kPa and the MAP is steady-- if all this is good, then the predicted throttle angle of the sensor does not match the actual throttle angle.
