Default wth is going on!?

i dont know what the heck is going on. i turned on my car. and there is a vsc light in the dash. i tryed pressing the gas pedal down and it doesn't seem to rev until it hits that point to where its almost touching the floor. so i turn off the car. then i try to show my mom and when she drives it, it works just fine!! and she says "vcs stands for vehicle stability control stop being an idiot and turn it off and stop imagining things" so im like i know what that means and it can't be turned off just like that. then she says ill believe it when i see it and she leaves. so im like and turn the car back on. and the rpm's are above 2! so im like ha mom! and the min she walks over there it drops down back to 1! has anyone ever experienced anything like this?? i dont think it has anything to do with this but a had a new sterieo installed 3 days ago. and i was listening to it for a little before i turned on the car. but it was justless then 5 mins. i have no clue what happend. and when i drove it for a little i litterally had to FLOOR It. to get it to move.. gosh its like double loose for me that this happend and mom doesn't believe me.

What was done to resolve this? Did you have to replace the Throttle Position Sensor?
