Electronic Throttle Body Throttle Actuator Control (TAC)
The electronic throttle body TAC is a DC motor controlled by the PCM. The motor housing is integrated into the main housing. An internal spring is used to return the throttle plate to a default position. The default position is typically a throttle angle of 7 to 8 degrees from the hard stop angle. The closed throttle plate hard stop prevents the throttle from binding in the bore. This hard stop setting is not adjustable and is set to result in less airflow than the minimum engine airflow required at idle.
