At times only in first gear, i will get going but sometimes after im already moving i push the pedal amore and nothing happens, I push further still nothing then eventually after i push it far enough it will lurch and the RPMs will shoot way up to match the throttle.
Bad TPS? I took it off a while back and tested and adjusted it. All was fine. Had the same problem even before i fooled with the TPS. Anything else able to cause this?

EDIT: Its a 3.0.

 

Pull the throttle body and give it a good cleaning, then check and adjust (or replace) the TPS and see what happens.

 

Alright il have to wait on the TPS though 80 bucks for a after market one is enough to make me live with it for a while, Not like i haven't been

Thanks dude. Been kinda curios with this for a while.

 

i've got issues w/ my auto trying to start out in 2nd gear. adjusting the top throttle/tranny cable resolved the issue. JCIII started a thread detailing the adjustment, but it begins with throttle cable adjustment, which may resolve ur issue anyway.
i'll try to find link and attach

 

just read your signature to see that ur not an auto tranny. sorry for irrelevant post

 

thats alright Thanks anyway though.

 

cleaning i bet will fix my cuz had the same issue

 

It only sometimes does it. I ran a can of sea foam through the upper hose into the throttle body and stuff. So far it seems better. But il see in the next few days of driving.

 

It's a cable operated throttle on that truck, so just a good cleaning should fix it.....I doubt that it is the TPS, but you could always check the voltage at the TPS and see if it is within spec

 

yeah it seemed fine. I adjusted it a few weeks ago. Thanks guys. And the throttle body is spotless. Il see how it does this weekend while at the deer lease.
