need desperate Help Please

Hello there peers. Hope you guys can help me out. I bought my car about a year and half ago. It already have some mods done to it. Here is the layout:
- 2010 2LT RS with the following MODS:
- JBA - Headers and Exhaust system
- Injen Cold Air Intake
- RX Can
- VMAX CNC Throttle Body

1. First question, how can I tell if the car has been re-programmed (Tunned)

2. I bought a throttle body spacer (Jet Power Performance) and it arrived today. So I went on to installed it. After I was done with the installation, surprise surprise, "Tons of lights on"
- I have the engine check light on
- StabiliTrack light on
- "Service StabiliTrack" displayed in the LCD
- When I turn car on the screen gave me another message "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED"
- I Took the car for a ride and woooow, I almost cried, my car would not go anywhere at all, sooooooooo slow so heavy, draggin like if I'm pulling an 18 wheeler behind. Have no response at all whatsoever.

Got back home and put my code reader and game me the following:
P0223 Error (Throttle/Pedal/Position Sensor, Switch B Circuit High)
I erased the code and right the way it comes back on.......

PLEASE HELP! What should I do? Will the computer re-learn itself with this. I didn't think just installing a throttle body spacer would do that. I tried taking it out and putting back the way it was, but I guess it had already screwed the system, no changes same issue........

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ADVISE....Thanks with advance

You ordered the part, look it up if it wasn't in the package.

those codes are related to the throttle body wiring not being connected properly.

also, lots of throttle bodies you need to "recalibrate" for idle position. I haven't done it on the Camaro but did it other GM cars.

this looks like the recalibrate/relearn procedure

We need to see some pictures of the install. Removing it should have done the trick. Was the throttle body harness damaged at all when took the throttle body off?

Just off the top from experience on my previous 2LT, did you force the TB valve gate in any way during install? I did while cleaning it and had the same scenario occur. Luckily it was still under warranty and they replaced it.

When interacting with the tb I've learned not to touch the valve gate otherwise it can create issues since it seems to be a very sensitive, calibrated item.

1st remove the door stop spacer. its worthless. Return it if you can. if problems solved great. check to see if you damaged anything. If for some reason you decide to keep it on the car. Is the throttle plate touching the spacer. Take the intake off so you can see the throttle blade and have a friend press the gas pedal slowly to the floor and check that it does not hit anything. Do this with the engine off but power on.

Remove the throttle body space and return it to the vendor for a refund. You don't need it - they really don't do anything.

I had installed a ported throttle body on my car about 6 months ago, and I got the exact same problem. All the same lights came on, and reduced power. I had to Switch it back to the stock throttle body and then all the problems went away. And my car ran perfect again. You will just have to remove the spacer.

First thing: remove the spacer, and re-test as others have said.

You don't know if you actually have a problem yet. In the absence of a proven fault, there is no fault

Just remove the return the spacer. Its not worth it.

As for how to tell if you are tuned, is your car an automatic? If so, try to rev it while in neutral...if it will go over 4,000 in neutral its tuned...just don't do it too much as revving that high in neutral often can be bad for the converter.

Thanks for all the suggestions..

I have tried removing the spacer and putting all back together again and still giving me the same errors with the same results....

Will try to do the Reset today when I get home....

- I have no other car, but I still need to get to work...can I damage the car driving it with all this?
