Default reduced engine power...HELP!!!

Started the truck today (with my remote start) truck was running like ****. noticed reduced power and codes p2135 and p0220. Throttle position sensor voltage crap. I am running the 90mm throttle body with the x-link. Anyone have this problem? Could the x-link have an issue? I looked for any broken wires but found nothing obvious.

I think a member on this site had a similar issue a couple months ago. If I remember correctly, the problem turned out to be the gas pedal position sensor. I'd check to make sure this sensor is OK. I think it's under the gas pedal but I'm not sure.

My 1st X-Link module crapped out. Reduced power and those codes. I verified it by putting the old harness and 02 tac module on it and it cleared up.

i put a different harness on and was able to clear the codes then tried to start the truck and the battery clicked then started. I think the battery is dying and the low voltage on start-up is setting the code. Any input?

if i keep the x-link on it only pulls two codes p2135 and p0220 but it will not allow me to clear codes. if i just put a adapter plug on I will pull those two codes plus p0120 p1516 and p2101 but it will allow me to clear codes. when the truck is in limp mode does it idle really rough?

po120- TP system performance
po220- AAP sensor 2 circuit
p1516- TAC module throttle actuator position performance
p2101- throttle actuator control motor circuit range/performance
p2135- throttle/pedal position sensor/switch A/B voltage correlation

took off the x-link and plugged in my old 78mm and she fired up with no codes so it is definitely in the 90mm.

Don't you just love Drive-by-Wire? Next comes Steer-by-Wire and Brake-by-Wire. The auto techs will be in school forever with all this new by-Wire crap. I'd like to see the Flat Rate manual on some of this new by-Wire stuff.
