Default 2006 A8 L P0221 code

hey new here

just purchased an 06 a8l last week and have an intermittent problem, sometimes my EPC light goes on along with the triangle with an exclamation mark, but if i just turn off the car and turn it back on it goes away. anyways scanned it today and got a P0221 code: throttle/ pedal position senesor

just wondering what might be the problem, thanks for anyone that can help me with this

I have a 2005 TT and have the same code, same lights came on. I had it scanned and the code read as a Throttle/Pedal Position Switch B Circuit Range/Performance issue. They told me I needed a new throttle body. Have yet to purchase - did take it off and clean - as suggested via some other posts - but did not solve the problems I'm having. Erratic idle, no power, misfiring. Any of that sound familiar?

When found in the 2005 - 2009 NAR (North American Region) Audi TT, A3, A4, A6, Q7 with a FSI engine check TSB 97-08-25 or 2018260 for a wiring repair at the Throttle Body
