What else could cause a TAC code

[BruceH]

Welp, good news and bad news...the throttle body itself is bad. They put a stock GT throttle body on it and it ran just fine.

So now I need to find a GT500 tb (with electronics) asap.

$137.50 from Tousley.

what can go bad on a throttle body besides the electronics?

It sounds like the spring wasn't loaded properly. Not sure how that could just "go bad". Also my stock computer is back in the car and its no longer throwing any codes after beig start/ran/shut down 9 or 10 times. So lets hope all is well for the ride home. $1300 for nothing will piss me off something fierce.

The spring as lupo said plus play in the gears and or in the shaft is detected on the initial checkup or later and will trigger the FMEM.

Glad you found it Brian.

so everything is g2g now? Hopefully the dealer didn't charge you a ridiculous price. good luck.

Just $1400. And they didn't even fix the O2 problem, just the TB issue, which was as simple as putting on a new TB or new TB electronics.

Im furious.
