It needs to go on a diagnostic fir a read, or buy yourself a diagnostic device that you can use yourself, to diagnose issues.

It doesn't have a separate position sensor, as it's part of the throttle body. It does have a throttle pedal position sensor, which is part of the throttle pedal assembly.

P0380 is a glow plug code, so really you need to test each glow plug in turn for a resistance of around 1 Ohm.

I doubt the glow plug code is relevant to your issue. However it's not unheard-of for the throttle butterfly to stick closed, or partially open, which would cause power loss.
