Nothing but a tune. But it did it before and it's getting progressively worse

Clean the throttle body, that's a start. Or straight replace it if you can find a spare to test out.

Damn, my 03 Silverado is also having the same problem. I replaced the throttle body connector, pedal, and even changed the throttle body but no luck! What else is recommended to check. This started after I got a tune. Any help is appreciated...

Pull on the Brown and Yellow wires by the TB. If they are broken, you will feel the insulation stretch. Replace or repair the broken wire.
