God I wish I could fix mine with an ignition switch. My truck starts, runs, cruises, part throttle fine. But when you go WOT and hit higher RPM's, bam it goes into REP mode. Always pops the P2101 code for a restricted throttle blade. A log shows the blade moving a few degrees right before it trips.

I tell my GF every day I am going to smash the truck with a sledge hammer. I wish I would have never layes eyes on it now. It isn't even fun anymore. I can't even get into the gas without going into REP mode. I would really like to find the engineer that thought there shouldn't be a cable operated TB on vehicles anymore and kick the **** out of him.

No, from everything I have gathered, the engine is moving too much air, and the TB can't handle it. It runs fine until you get into the gas.
