A funny thing happened on the way to the cabin
Last Sunday I filled up in Idaho Springs, CO on my way up to my sister's cabin up above 10,000' elevation. After filling I started the truck and began to pull into the street when the wrench appeared and the truck shut down and idled like a diesel. I barely was able to crawl across to a parking lot.
I pulled up two error codes with the Torque app on my phone
P2111: Throttle stuck open
P2112: Throttle stuck closed
WTF? stuck open and closed at the same time? maybe TPS is going bad
I cleared the codes and the truck has performed flawlessly ever since, with no recurrence of the codes.
I'm so glad I had the Bluetooth dongle and the Torque app.

It doesn't sound funny to me. I hope you don't have any issues again but if so please keep us update it. I used to have an Audi A4 that drive me crazy, every once in a while I have random codes that didn't make sense. After I got rid of it I had more peace:-)

Yeah that could be a sign the throttle body itself is beginning to fail. I had a 2007 f150 that would pop up these same error codes. Whole throttle body had to be replaced, it would do it randomly and force idle the truck no pedal input. I know my example is from a 2007 but I think it applies. If under warranty id take it in.
