you wanna make sure you have power at tac when key on, but not when key off... if you have power at key off that is bad
also check your cruise, brake , and any other related fuses because if the cruise fuse or any other related fuse is blown the tac will not respond....

Got you on the fuse thing. I also need to sheck for a Throt Cont fuse, I was told that fuse is a 15A. Do you have any idea which wire on the connector should be getting power? I do not have a wiring diagram oother then whats in the Haynes book and it does not cover the module at all. It has 2 connectors coming into it, it looks like the inboard one goes to the brake booster and the other one would be my concern.
Also would I be looking for 12V or 5V @ that wire.

no problem you can thank GM for the diagram hahaha, I work at the dealer...but you might also want to check the yellow and the brown wire at the TB itself, I have seen a few of those break inside the insulation and cause weird problems...

ive seen this problem a couple times where the ign + gets grounded to constant... and when that happens the tac will stay on full time. so when the pcm starts it sees the tac already on, when the tac is supposed to power up after the pcm. and all the pcm needs is 1 second of inaccurate info and it will go into reduced power
