If I slowly accelerete it will rev a lot higher. Kinda stumped.
Like ls1nova71 mentioned, it could be mismatched components (or a defective component). Also, double check that the TAC module is getting power at the same time as the PCM. If one is powered up before the other (or one doesn't get power in the ignition "crank" position) you'll get the P01518 code.
