Yeah seeing those three codes together I'd say its the throttle body connection or bad throttle body. Is the car tuned?

No, though the Jannetty tune was coming tomorrow :(

Just got it open, no obstructions or debris anywhere in vararam or TB. All connections secure. Power wedge looks secure, no visible cracks.

Pulled battery. Going to reassemble and see if the issue persists. If it does after the full ECM reset next I'm changing MAF back to the old one. If that doesn't do it.... Idk

I make sure it's no hard parts before you load that tune. You can still use warranty now. If the Maf doesn't fix it I have a TB you can borrow to test to make sure if you want. What the heck is a power wedge?

It's something that vararam came up with! Like a TB spacer at an angle! Suppose to help with airflow coming in! Makes the TB blade open straight, and not at a slight angle!

That would be the first thing I would pull off then. Sounds kinda like a throttle response gimmick does it make any power?

Suppose to make a couple ponies, but I think it's more for throttle response! But the bright side is, it's a money back guarantee!

Ok.... Disassembled, found no issues, put back together.... (While leaving the battery disconnected) and it's running fine (though I think I have to let the fuel trims adjust back to the vararam again)....

What. The. Heck. I mean... The thing almost caused me to crash today.

I think this was a computer freak out.... Dear god that was scary though. Bad gas may have been a factor too.... Idk. Going to do a test drive but it's running fine now. This makes me think it had to be fuel or software...

It's not the fuel bud.

I checked and rechecked every connection when I was stuck at a gas station. She would *not* come out of limp mode once she got in.

Most have found maybe 5-6+ HP. I just figured for $90 I'd add it on to the vararam. Installing both made a definite improvement, I can't say what did what though but the change is very noticeable.
