hey guys. Maybe somebody can help me out here... me and a couple of buds were cruisin down the highway in his 2003 Chevy 3/4ton 6.0L when all of a sudden we lost power, and the engine light came up. Almost all power was lost, the system went into Limp-Home-Mode. We pulled over, and he has a scan tool with him (great idea!) and ran the codes. These came up:

C0055 (No Shift, Speedometer problem or something)
P1516 (Throttle Actuator Control)

Now, I guess a little bit ago my buddy was installing a sub in his truck and drilled into a couple wires. Not wanting to mess things up, he took it to the local GM dealership to have the wires fixed, mainly so if anything wrong, well a technician did it! point fingers!

Anyways, I want to know more about this Throttle Actuator Control deal, and the C0055 code, and what the heck set them off at random? Any help would be awesome, thanks guys.
