Vsa power steering light code p2101

The other day drove my car home fine shut it off and went to step out again when i started my car it stalled right away i tried starting it again while goving gas and had no gas pedal response car stalled again .. waited 5 mins the car then started but vsa and power steering light started flashing. When i scanned the car i got a p2101 code for throttle body actuator. I disconnected the battery for 15+ mins cleaned the throttle body and mass airflow sensor. When i started the car it was idleing at 3000rpm then rose to 4,000 rpms then dropped back to 3000rpms and continued to repeat that sequence i disconnected my mass airflow sensor while care was running and it didnt make a difference car even started with it unplugged but ran poorly then had that idle issue again. I changed spark plugs 2 weeks ago and cleaned my maf with brake cleaner which i read ruins the sensor after doing it but can the issue start 2 weeks after spraying it down. Before i changed the spark plugs the car would bog under heavy load and lose power for a split second then begin with full power in every gear. Not sure where else to check 02 sensor also destroyed and not working 100%

first fully charge battery, when dashboard lits up like a christmas tree in these cars, there is not enough electrical power and electronics go crazy. If that works, either battery or charging system is not good - 1st thing to check
