Hi, Since youv'e replaced your cap and rotor you also might look at your wires. They could have one cracked because when cold there could be some moisture that gets in and when the engine has run a while and the wires are warm the moisture is eliminated. You could have also broken a wire slightly when you replaced the cap, also did you remember to put the dielectric grease in the wire ends before you put them back on the cap and is the coil wire on securely? Those are what I would look for first. Good luck to you.
The electronic throttle control light stays on when the engine computer detects a malfunction related to the throttle system. You need to have the system checked for codes to know possible causes.

You will need to remove the dashboard panel in order to replace the electronic throttle control light. With the dashboard panel removed the light can be access to be replaced.
Light and water and Oxygen. Metals which easily form oxides, especially when wet, will rust.
That light is the failure indicator for the electronic throttle control system. If the light stays on, the engine computer will have stored a trouble code.That is the indicator for a failure in the electronic throttle system.
It means that the computer has detected a malfunction and set a code. You will need to have it checked with a scan tool to know possible causes.
Maybe, you may have no throttle response at all depending on the failure.
The traction control light will come on in an 02 Cavalier when the throttle postion sensor is going bad. It's not hard to change, a little hard to get to though. It is attached to the throttle body on the passenger side of the engine. It receives the throttle position from the butterfly inside the throttle body. When the trac off light comes on and you slow down you would feel like the car is trying to stall out on you a bit if it is the TPS. Not a hard repair but not an easy part to get to, new one costs about 20 bucks or so.
When Throttle Position sensor is bad when you step on pedal and it does not move, engine light is on!

It is on because the engine computer has detected a malfunction with the electronic throttle control system.
