Truck runs no throtle

It took some pretty diligent cleaning on the terminals of the boost system of My truck to get it to function as it should. I did throw some parts at it, to no avail. Used a points file to clean the male ends of the terminals and a very small file to get into the female ends, it now works as it should. the little hand held bead blaster would not get in deep enough to get them scrubbed clean. The terminals did not even look that bad, was I ever wrong.
I have a dental file that was small enough to get into the female terminals.

I will probably have to go this route to see if it clears it up. What about some electric grease after it's cleaned up?

Yes. Every time it happens the STS light comes on.

Pull codes, link below, and see what the ECM is finding wrong. After the ECM sees the fault long enough to rule out a intermittent short or open it sets a code and disables the throttle for safety. This will narrow down what you are looking for, maybe.

Like I said there is a connector between the APP throttle pedal and the ECM somewhere close to the ECM that also gets attention when working on this.
