We are talking about the TAC system.......could be throttle body assembly, PPS, ECM/PCM, or any of the wiring or connections in between them....
True but he wants to shotgun parts at it. Could be a module or wiring problem as well. Worse case scenario he replaces all physical components and ends up troubleshooting the wiring. Oh well....

I found out the hard way one time.....ordered a very expensive throttle body assembly....installed it....was ok for one day......a come back for me, which I was not happy about(whenever I got one, a big deal was made about it!!!!!!!!!!)......

Further electrical testing, while flexing the wires in the harness to the throttle body, exposed a broken wire/connection inside the insulation....When the engine would flex back/forth a certain way, the harness would move a little and cause an intermittent problem....

But if the guy has the money to shotgun, so be it.....
