SOLVED: P2101 CEL

I have been experiencing the P2101 CEL on my supercharged Camaro recently. It occurs when at WOT and just at about 6k rpms. The engine loses power and actually shuts down. Pull to the side of the road, turn the engine off and wait a minute or so and it will restart and drive as normal. Dash shows the CEL and later confirms it's the P2101 which refers to an issue with the throttle body. One expert thought the throttle body motor wasn't strong enough to open the plate wide enough to allow enough air into the supercharger. If you reset the code it doesn't re light until you drive it hard at 6k rpm.

I happened to have a Vmax throttle body for the car and installed it with no change. I called Katech tech support hoping they had some wisdom on the issue and they can't suggest a fix. I just now have tried to contact Pete Incaudo of Vmax to see if he might have some thoughts on a fix.

Camaro6 has tons of experience with every issue possible on our cars. Just wondering if anyone might have some words of wisdom.
