Default the car does not respond to trottle

my car starts but it die when i give it gas . the car started acting up last winter when it saw snow for its 1st time . the car would run and all of but all of a sudden the gas peddal would stop responding . i would then turn off the car and turn it back on so it would go away. but now the car stop responding and when it turns and give it gas it dies.

i have replaced the throttle body . the only thing i have not check is the maf sensor


anyone has any ideas ??

Issue with TCS, maybe? Thats all I can think of if it happens in turns.

I think its either your throttle body going or your throttle position sensor.

Are all the bolts on the intake manifold tight? You may have a slight vacuum leak.

After replacing the throttle body, did you do the three recalibration procedures....

yeap everything is tight. the only codes i keep on getting is the throttle position code and when it goes away i would get the mass air sensor code. they have been taking turns on and off for the past couple of months .
