We've replaced the DBW throttle bodies on customer vehicles that were doing the same thing. We had them re-flashed after the install to cure some quirky things that were happening.

if you replace the pedal ,and tach module,, have you check the wire harness,, maybe a wire got damage?
on my swap the same thing happen but it was because I had everything hooked up and I hook the pedal last and it wouldnt work, I tried and tried things with no luck,, then I unhook the battery and hooked it back and it work just fine,, I guess if you connect the tach module and pedal after the pcm , the pcm wont read it until it gets reset.. just my experience .. good luck

pull on the wires that go to the throttle body connector about 6 inches away from the connector, i see this very often, the wires will be broke inside the insulation and it will ohm ok but when you pull on it, it will come apart.
edit: if that doesnt work build a harness from the throttle body directly to the tac module, have had to do that a couple times too due to a previous retard playing with butt connectors.

That means the tac module works. So the problem is the pedal or pedals harness. Make sure pedal is connected. Discconect the battery for a few min. The re connect battery and try it. Good luck
