Icon3 Tcs light, traction control light and no throttle response

Hello, I have been having a problem with my 2003 accord v6 6 speed. About 2 months ago I got my clutch and flywheel replaced, a month went by fine, the all
Of the sudden when I was driving on the highway It would feel like a cylinder would misfire. By that I mean as I was barely touching the gas it would feel like the cae would get power, then not and caused my head to bob back and forth just slightly. This wolf happen after 20 min of driving or so.
Then the problem got worse, the ! light came on and shortly after the TCS light came on, and the car would homonym a "limp mode" where it wouldn't rev over 3,000 rpm. And it would get there very slowly.
I took it to a shop that charged me 1000 to replace the trottle body and some other sensors that went off on the computer.
The problem went away until I drove the car for 30 min, and it went to the "limp mode" again.

If I turn the car off and back on, the problem goes away. I would also like to say that it seems like I don't feel
The vtec anymore. My tcs off button doesn't do anything, and another thing that started to happen is instead of going to limo mode while driving, it goes to idle mode , where pressing the trottle has no effect at all, the car just idles.

Someone please help, I have spent too much on mechanics that don't know what they are doing.

Thank you.

Do you have a check engine light on?

Sounds like something is wrong with the ECU itself and/or the traction control

I too sense that the ecu may be at fault.

what is the tcs dtc? this usually happens if the app sensor goes bad. it basically translates how much you are pressing the pedal to the throttle body.

Did you ever get this resolved? I am having the exact same problem with my 2004 6cyl accord. Thanks for any input anyone has.
