    So we just got our taco and noticing wierd throttle issues and from research it points to throttle body but just wanted to get opinions before we start throwing parts at it.

    Symptoms
    -threw code p2121 once and nothing sense
    -below 4k rpm throttle jumps 2-300 rpm
    -randomly at slow speeds falls on its face and throttle doesn't respond till completely let off and half way floor it.

    I would start by cleaning your throttle body (probably not the problem but good anyways since you're already messing with it). And I would test the throttle position sensor. If it's not the tps I would check grounds, related wires for cracks/ shorts, all connections to make sure they're not loose or dirty etc.

    Also check your connections at the throttle body and the accelerator pedal, as I'm sure you know this is a drive-by-wire system.

    Disconnect the connectors and check the pin fitment and also for corrosion or dirt if you have not done so yet.

    I did that already. I have no cleaned the maf or the throttle body yet but will try. I just figured if it's common I'll just replace it
