Default Anybody problems with GIAC flash?

I keep getting all the lights on in the dash, goes into limp, then I restart twice and all is fine. This happens stock or pump program. When I first had the flash done, this happened a few times until there was a software upgrade around Feb. Now it has started again, in a 4 hour drive it occured about 6 times. Very aggravating. It has been a few months since the problem first happened, the only thing I can think of is that switching from pump to stock program a couple of weeks ago may have caused it. This was the longest drive in a while. Has anybody else had this problem? First call on Tuesday is to the installer to check in with him. He has been very helpful since day one.

Default 2002, and it is a throttle error

that the VAG reads. I think it says "implausible throttle position (or angle)" or something like that. Any ideas on what I need to do to fix? Replace the throttle switch? If so, how much and can I do it myself? Thanks for the info, it gives me hope.
