Default RE: Fluctuating Idle

I had similar issues back some time ago....But I was going into limp mode from time to time, but no codes...After 3 trips to the dealer and nothing...it finally started to do it really really bad one day...had to limp mode all the way to work...stopped by the dealer and all of a sudden NO throttle response...just idled....turns out it was the TPS and TB both shot...new TPS and TB and no problems since....
