I believe you have an electronic throttle actuator control module. You might have a bad connection to the module or a bad module, or a bad connection from the throttle pedal module, or maybe a bad throttle position sensor. Hope this helps, Jeff Horton

Reduced Engine Power Mode
When the PCM detects a condition with the TAC system, the PCM may enter a reduced engine power mode. Reduced engine power may cause one or more of the following conditions:
?€¢
Acceleration limiting--The control module will continue to use the accelerator pedal for throttle control; however, the vehicle acceleration is limited.
?€¢
Limited throttle mode--The control module will continue to use the accelerator pedal for throttle control; however, the maximum throttle opening is limited.
?€¢
Throttle default mode--The control module will turn off the throttle actuator motor and the throttle will return to the spring loaded default position.
?€¢
Forced idle mode--The control module will perform the following actions:
-
Limit engine speed to idle by positioning throttle position, or by controlling fuel and spark if throttle is turned off.
-
Ignore accelerator pedal input.
?€¢
Engine shutdown mode--The control module will disable fuel and de-energize the throttle actuator.
