Mine has always done that when I turn the key on. Never timed it being 2 seconds but I hear it click open and then shut at key on.

When i took the butterflies out of my tb to have in powdercoated, then reassembled, i had them installed a little off. This caused them to not be able to close all the way and make the computer flutter them trying to find the fully closed position voltage.

The ECM checks TPS voltage open and closed on every startup


its to check for binding in the throttle body mechanical setup. if the car senses any binding situation it will set the car into limp mode. it is normal.
