Default Help with fault codes...

I have been getting fault codes for my throttle angle sensors #1 and #2. When it goes off my EPC light goes on, and I can only give a small amount of throttle, no matter how much i actually depress the throttle. Also if i am hitting the brakes and the throttle, the throttle does nothing.
I already took it to the dealer once, and they replaced the throttle pedal and assembly. It was fine for a few days, then it started acting up again.
Any ideas on what this might be?

Default Could be a bad pin on the ecu.

BTW you cant hit the throttle and brake at the same time (known as left foot braking) since the car is a dbw and the ecu will close the throttle as a safety when the brake and dbw throttle pedal are pressed at the same time. Now others have said you can do this to do left foot braking if you want. You just let off the throttle, push down on the brakes and then add throttle again. When you add brake when on the throttle already is when the ecu shuts the throttle plate.
