Default P0120 Code... need help

my diagnostic software is showing that the P0120 code is a (Throttle Position Sensor/Switch A Circuit Malfunction) and I'm pretty sure its putting me in limp mode.. When i push down on the gas peddle the engine revs but the obdII port is only showing my throttle at 18% max even though the revs are going way higher and it also seems that it is messing with my shift points while in drive.. It doesn't want to shift up on its own unless i go very slow into the next gear.. I tried cleaning my throttle position sensor like waldig did in this post ( https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...odies-now.html ) but all i had to do it with was CRC Throttle Body & Air-Intake Cleaner it did remove some black stuff off the contacts but not sure if its harsh enough to Clean it completely but also do not want to use something that might mess it up. After I cleaned the contacts i put it back on the car then went for a lil drive .. It seemed like it was driving ok until i got to the main road and floored it .. it started out grate then suddenly started doing the same thing all over ... my head hurts.. I also had my transmission flushed a few days ago just to make sure i wasn't low on fluid or bad fluid or whatever soooo any idea's will be very helpfull........

on another matter I was going to get my fuel injectors this month till all this came up then the tune and then see what this car can Reilly do with my setup but this has thrown a wrench in my plans for now
