that'd be a big negative...i haven't been on here in about 2 months, but several guys were saying since at one time i got a CEL that was related to my TPS that it could be my problem. but i checked the resistance in the TPS as the fsm says to do and it checked out fine. i'ts weird because my truck starts, idles, and runs fine. but once it gets to 4k rom, no matter if at full throttle or bearly pressing it, it WILL NOT rev past 4k rpm and starts to make the truck sputter like and it sounds just like when a drag car is hitting their preset rev limiter before hey take off...and i know before my crank pulley came loose which caused a knocking sound and the trip to the shop that my truck WOULD rev past 4k rpm b/c one time i thought i was for sure going to be hit in traffic but i punched it and it definitely went past 5k rpm...
