Default 2004 dodge ram 2500 5.7 hemi with electronic throttle control pronblems

Hi I have a 2004 dodge ram 2500 with a 5.7 Hemi, and im having trouble with the electronice throttle control light coming on and putting it into limp home mode. It doesnt stall or anything like that just goes into limp home mode I can shut the truck off and turn it back on and it will go away. I have cleaned the throttle body, and sensor on top of it. I replaced the App sensor and that didnt work eithere. I am stuck not sure what or where to check next. If you could help that would be great.

I was going to suggest that sensor but since you have already covered that, I wont bother. But I guess it could be the TB.

what type of spark plugs are you running? platinums can cause power spikes and cause issues in the tcm.

it only has 88,000 miles on it and I just got it like a month ago. I am asuming it still has stock plugs.
