Default Possible throttle body issue

I have a 2006 Ram 1500 this thing is been nothing but a headache but here we go. I have the red lightning bolt which I know is an issue with the communication to the throttle body but then along with that I'll also get a crank sensor error and a oil pressure sensor both of which have been replaced. I'm going to try to take the throttle body off and clean it and see if that helps any does anyone have any other suggestions. I would really just love to drive this truck off a cliff and be done with it

May be a problem with the pedal position sensor as well..... (electronic throttle) Got a scanner? Plug in and see if the PPS is telling the right things.

okay update for the day replace the throttle body and it did start up and run for about a whole 10 minutes or so and then it went back into limp mode struggled to get it back home. Besides the lightning bolt light that you know indicates the throttle deal the only two codes that I pull is a low oil pressure and a crank sensor both of which I replaced the oil pressure I guess I could see because it's not idling right the crank sensor I just replaced. Was it plugged into my code scanner when I step on the throttle pedal it shows the voltage change so I guess that that means the pedal sensors okay that's why I put a throttle body in it. At this point I have no idea if anybody has any suggestions please let me know
