2006 GTO LS2 w/4 speed auto in 87 Buick GN
Hey everyone! I'm hoping someone can help my mechanic out. This is what he wanted me to post on the forum.
"We were doing our final test and tune with the car running and the throttle working properly. We had just adjusted the timing and sat in the car to back it out of the shop and "NOTHING". There was no throttle response. We ran a number of tests including computer analysis and always got the same result, "Throttle Position 0%". Is this absolutely telling us that the throttle control on the gas pedal is malfunctioning or could it be the receiver on the throttle body? Since these parts are not overly produced any longer and are way overpriced, does anyone know of a system whereby we can go to a cable operation on this 2006 GTO 6.0 that has been placed in this 1987 Grand National? Any help on this matter would be MOST APPRECIATED"
And to note, we purchased the Street and Performance wiring harness for the transplant.

Not produced any longer? Aren't most of these parts used across about 5 million different GM vehicles? Sounds like the mechanic is prepping you for a parts-price *** rape, but I could of course be wrong.
Use HP tuners or whatever and check a table that is marked "installed options matrix vs platform type". Under platform "7" for the type of engine, see what the column for ETC was set at. Might be 1 or 0. Whatever it is change it and see if that does it. Fixed a similar situation for me, though I doubt it will work in your case since you didn't change from dbw to dbc.
Call the people who made the harness and see what they say. Service after the sale and all that.

If you go to cable throttle body on the LS2 you are going to have to change the PCM.
What computer, throttle body and pedal are you using? Is it a stock 2006 LS2 setup?

I agree with you. Actually just called him a little while ago and told him that we're going to forget with the DBC idea. That just sounds like a dumb idea at this point (plus it's going to cost me a lot more to go that route anyway).
I even gave him the number to Street and Performance about 3 weeks ago!
I'll have to do it again and maybe he'll get the point this time...
