Swap electronic throttle for cable?
Hey everybody! How much of a pain in the **** would it be for me to swap my electronic throttle body for a cable style one off of like say... an 04 GTO. Any more info would be appreciated.

No kidding. I don't think it's possible without a custom PCM. The Throttle position and accelerator position goes directly to the TAC, comparison is made...and the communication between the PCM and TAC takes place via the class 2 serial buss.
Can't wait for the write up on how to do this. I'll bet many others want to do the same thing...... OP please take some pics to go along with a writeup.

Use EFILive or HPTuners to change DTC setting so that P1516 (TAC Module) Is Not Reported. Might also need to disable P2135 (TPS 1-2 Correlation).

Ok, I found it. Alot of old hot rod truck builders are doing this and they told me that the guys at Painless have a kit that they will send me. Otherwise they told me to go to a junkyard and pull all the stuff off of an 04 GTO and use it. I think I'll just order the stuff from Painless. I'll keep you guys updated.

I have to be honest here....
This is the most retarded thing I've heard here in a while. Why would you want to get rid of the factory system when it's perfectly reliable, and you can tune it to perfection if you were an hptuners geek?
This isn't Toyota, this is a Corvette.
So you're going to improve on the $millions that GM has spent creating the system that throttles your C5..
"If it 'aint broke, don't fix it."

Another cobbed up car that will be foisted off on an unsuspecting buyer in the future.
