When at a stop, I push on the accelerator vehicle shuts off. Most of the time it is starts right up but as soon as I push on the accelerator it shuts off. It will do this several times then finally it will catch and I will be able to drive off, but as soon as I come to the next stop it will shut off as soon as I push the accelerator again and it continually does this. The p2106 code shows it is a throttle actuator control system failure. I replace the whole system throttle body and all still having the same problem. Please any input or ideas. Thank you

I attached the procedure for you of the replacement of the sensor.

It is a plug and play, no programming required.
