Wrecked my vette need help!!!!! P1518 code
I'm a newbe to the site and wasn't planning on starting to post this way but what the hell. Need help, started putting the car back together the day I got out of the hospital (was in critical condition but still alive!!), and now ofcoarse I have about 5 body module codes with I don't know how to fix nor do I care about those codes right now but the one that I more concerned about is the P1518 code for the throttle body accuator module. Step on the gas and it does nothing and the motor sounds like **** at idle. I know it could be TAC, wire short, or ECM but has anyone had the problem before and know off the top of there head what it could be? Please help!!!!!!!

A lot of times the body codes will show up with other problems, so I would reset those and see if they re-appear. This code will set as a result of low battery voltage, any reason suspect your batter? Did this code come up out of the blue? Have you inspected the TAC connections for corrosion? Have you check the throttle controller fuse?
I have the diagnostics, do you have a service manual?

I had pinched some of my wires behind the intake when I installed heads/cam which caused the tac module and the tps sensor to short. I had to replace them both. I would check the sensor on the tb next. It may even be the sensor that controls the gas pedal. I forgot what that was called. Sorry

I will be around later today, I can look at the diagnostic more if you need it.
Just found this site, maybe it will help.
