You may need to switch PCM`s. Not many of the green/blue connector PCM`s have IAC drivers. Check in the PCM section IIRC there is a thread in there listing the service #`s for the ones that do have IAC drivers

just fyi , when bolting the pedal to the firewall, b4 you installed, cut the "new" pedal since it has a weird long shape, cut it very short almost at the sensor , then cut the "old" pedal and weld the old to the new part , and when you make the install it will look just original... thats what I did but mine was a pedal from a truck so it might me different

My 2006 LS2 GTO pullout has a E40 pcm......... The E40 is a 24x.... problem is yes in theory, he should be able to convert... but it would cost you too much money to convert, cost meaning $$, time, and headaches just to try to convert........ Your talking about swapping the entire throttle system and possibly having to swap to a LS1/LS6 ecm..... How much would that cost you, is my question? I just left mine alone and stuck with the DBW plug and play.... No extra expense unless there is no salary cap on your build......

I took the pedal assembly out of the 2006 GTO, the pedals are actaully nice... He should have just ****** all of that out of the donor car......... I even took the brake too.... I stripped that GTO down.....lol I even took the driveshaft, All the parts I don't use, I said I would sell it on craigslist....lol
