Ok I know so many of you are going to say just put the stock throttle body back on. But I am not looking for haters I am asking why about every 3 to 4 days my wrench comes on my dash and the car dies. 99 precent of the time it runs fine and all I have to do to solver the problem is turn the car off and right back on and good for another couple of days. My question is why and what can I do about it? Also I did put the stock tb back on for about a day and had enough power loss and responce loss to make me want to deal with the issues I was having with the gms tb. Any idea are welcome

What are your stored or active DTC's? This should lead you in the proper direction. BTW, what does the "Wrench" light mean? I always thought the "Check Engine" light came on when there was a problem.

the wrench light comes on first and then the check engine light comes on only if the car dies the codes either say the acuater is stuck or forced Idle or both

I would say to check and make sure all of the clamps on the air intake tube are tight and you don't have a situation where you're drawing in more air than what is reading thru the MAF Sensor. Check all of your electrical connections too!
