Another "Quirk", Another Headache :(

Sidebar:I recently dicided to remove the VGS and I noticed the developments of tons of tiny bubbles on the coating in the IC, should I be worried?

The BIG Issue:mad:mad:
The TB has been fluttering at 2800-3200 RPM on its own recently (2 weeks, steady throttle on starts and steady highway driving w/ and w/out cruise control), reason for removing VGS, could be connected? I removed the VGS thinking the TB could be fluttering from a vacum leak somewhere, and having that mess around witht he sensor. After removing the VGS the fluttering became far more pronounced and frequent and happens almost every time I'm in the 2500-3500. RPM range

After removing the VGS and reinstalling the IC I figured I'd check to see if there were any codes, and I got 2

Code P0123 : TPS/ Pedal Position Sensor A Circuit High Input

Code P0222 : TPS/ Pedal Position Sensor/ Switch B Circuit Low Input

But no SES light.

Mods thus far are Alta CAI w/hose and the Removed VGS.

Anyone have any ideas?

For multiple unrelated reasons, I'd like to avoid that route unless part replacement is going to be my only solution.

the fluttering could be cause by a faulty sensor in the accelerator pedal not sending the right voltage to the DME. plus since you have the 2 codes for the accelerator/throttle sensors i would say you may need a new pedal assembly.
