    Get a odb2 bluetooth adapter, connect yo your phone and use torque to read the throttle position.
    if pulling at full throttle, torque reads anything BUT 100%, then it's your throttle positioning sensor. Clean it our or replace it.

    Or a obd2 to usb adapter and use Forscan

    Both Forscan (for Ford based cars) and the Torque apps are good.
