Check to see if your throttle linkage is properly adjusted, check for binding. Or does that have drive-by-wire….. I’m not real sure.

I don’t have a CEL and yes it is a manual transmission. I might pick up a scan tool and see what my TPS is doing. Their are not obstructions and the pedal moves freely, but the engine doesn’t rev until my foot is ha

If it’s a drive by wire system, there will be separate sensors at the pedal and at the throttle body.

[EricTheCarGuy]

I will suggest that you don’t clean the throttle body as I believe it is a DBW system, these require special procedures for cleaning and should not be messed with otherwise.
