    I got a lot just ask what you want to know
    I've been having problem with my Throttlebody or at least the sensors for starters I noticed the problem when it gets cooler in the air the truck check engine light will come on and I'll lose a lot of throttle response as in I have to push the peddle hafe way or more to get acceleration and it keep throwing a code p2112
    And I is says throttle body stuck closed so I changed out my TPS in the rear which the year make a model of my truck did not match I had to use a 2000 tundra v8 TPS to replace the one I had. Once I did the codes still was being thrown so my buddy and I thought it may be the front TPS ( which we can not find ) or it the whole throttle body now I've been told there's a recall on the throttle body's for the 1st gen could someone confirm that? But it's now the when i start the truck I have to feather the gas to keep it running and once warm my idle sits about 1500 - 2000 RPMS and once I shift in to fear it makes a loud clunk which I know it's from the high RPMS so if some one has dealt with this problem or knows how to fix it or both could you help me out please and thank you if you need more details just let me know I can take pictures of what I can't find or what I have to better understand

    Have you gone thru the diagnostic steps for the code?

    Sorry bud been busy at work. Yes so far no issues. I'll watch it the next couple of days. I cleaned the inside of the throttle body. The check engine light went off after that.
