jimmaw Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 so recently while driving down the road my throttle cuts out, meaning that while driving at any and all speeds my truck decides to randomly stop accelerating, and return to idle (very frustrating when changing gears) anyways was wondering if anyone has had this problem before, or has any ideas as to what might cause this. anything anyone can offer would be helpful, thanks for your time everybody.

Nade Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I'm having a problem that sounds just like that. I took my MAF out and cleaned it really good and the problem became more intermittent, but it hasn't gone away. I'll be trying to fix mine too, as it sounds like the same issue, I'll let you know if it stops completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Sounds like its the dreaded maf wiring. Try wiggling the wiring at the connector and see if it goes away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precise1 Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Ya, I'm guessing fuel delivery problems... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyP503 Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I had a Rodeo that did something similar and it was the fuel filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 could be the TPS sensor having dead spots too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmaw Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 found a wire that was some how cut on the tps sensor, got it hooked back up, but still having problem. fuel filter has been recently replaced, but they are cheap so i might get anther one and see if that helps. will clean mas today. thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmaw Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 cleaned mass, made no difference, gonna order new tps on wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewebster Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 There is a procedure in the FSM for checking the TPS voltages etc... but replacing could work too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Yep, check the output first. It is easy to do, replacing and setting one correctly is the pain. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nade Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 i did the fuel filter on mine and most of my issues went away.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmaw Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 i did the fuel filter on mine and most of my issues went away.. word mines been intermintent since may of last year, but latley its just outta hand, but after i got the 02sensor replaced doing pretty good, and the tps had a cut wire in a bad way so its just kinda rigged up for now, i would just feel better not having a busted one on it. and my fuel filter is still pretty new, but it can't hurt to get another one, just too lazy i guess, thanks man hope it'll help my poor truck.
