The following is a list of TAC system components:
• The accelerator pedal assembly includes the following components:

Your Electric Power Control light is trying to tell you that your electronic throttle control is not working, hence the accelerator pedal signal is not getting to the throttle body.

take the head off bent valves thats for sure

check coolant level, sounds like it's low,...

check that throttle cable is connected at pedal & throttle lever on intake.look under the hood and have an assistant press the pedal,you should see the throttle lever move.if it dosen't,your cable is not connected or broken.

if it has a kick down cable that could be the problem look for a cable running from throttle to trans that can be adjusted in length

try replacing the throttle body or throttle position sensor

Look under the hood. Look for the throttle body .The accelerator cable is attached to it. The cable housing anchor is broken and not letting it return to idle speed.. Use a portion of a clothes hanger to
secure the cable housing to the throttle body.
