2015 L99 2ss Reduced Power Mode

Everything was fine until I had the throttle body ported. After reinstalling it it went into limp mode after about 2 miles. I replaced the TB with one from a working and reliable SS then after about 5 miles it went into limp mode on the freeway, then 5 minutes later I restarted the car and it ran far enough to get to a mechanic. He checked codes and cleared, then about 10 miles later it did it again with this time the check engine light coming on.

Who ported your throttle body? Also do you have a throttle controller?

Ported TB seem to not like the throttle controller. I ditched mine after the limp mode would occur a few times and never had that problem ever again.

Yea Zombie Killer, after having problems after porting Bo White tested mine on his car and it worked on his 2010 so being the stand up guy he is he sent me the one from his personal car...same issue going into limp mode. My electrician said in order for it to work it has to be dyno tuned and once that's done you're married to the TB so you can't put the stock on back on. The suspect is the 2014 and up years you can't just bolt in a ported TB.
...bummer for the couple miles it did work the throttle response was definitely noticeable.
(insert sad face here)
