today after the malfunction I took it to them again and they told me it was the throttle valve actuator

what does the actuator do and would it make a different engine sound if it goes bad?
i know in my case the car felt like i was towing a very heavy object
very slow
unresponsive
and the more gas i pressed, the less power i would get out of the engine
how can the computer not tell them anything if you had an engine code yesterday?
it should be in the history
