Been digging on the forums all day and can't find anything so I'd appreciate y'alls input.
Symptoms: - The truck turns over but gives up after the 3-4 second "auto" start.
- P0121 Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch A Circuit Range/Performance
- P0123 Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch A Circuit High
- P2135 Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch A/B Voltage Correlation
My hunch is that I fried the throttle position sensor while cleaning my engine bay. According to DTC codes and referencing FSM (2006 ed.), looks like my options are replace the Throttle Body (to replace the throttle position sensor which is integrated to the TB), or replace the ECM if in actuality that is my problem. I think the ECM is fine though based on my ability to get readings thru my OBD scanner? I guess I'm confused why the car won't start even if the TB/Position Sensor is shorted/open/otherwise fried. I've been racking my brain all day. The FSM mentions a fail-safe mode if the throttle pos. sensor is out that would allow the truck to run in "limp mode" as I've seen it referenced here before. I guess maybe the intake could be out of sync and therefore not getting the correct air/fuel mixture?
Additional info/things I've tried: - charged battery
- opened fuel cap, reinstalled
- disconnected battery overnight
- confirmed throttle body opens when accelorator is depressed
- MAF picks up signal when air blown manually
- ECM registers throttle opening position (thru OBD scanner)
- I have gas
- No blown fuses
I have not checked fuel delivery since I'm getting codes related to intake/throttle.

Were you ever able to fix this issue? I'm running into the same codes.
