not a trans problem it is your tps (throttle position sensor) replace, and reset the PCM and you should be fine

np, this is the most common 'classic' symptom of the TPS going bad, make sure to reset the PCM after you change the sensor

To reset your engine codes:
Remove the negative terminal of your battery (10mm wrench).
Turn your ignition key to START and hold it there for about 15 seconds.
Turn your ignition key to OFF and remove it.
Connect the negative terminal of your battery.
Start but do not hit the throttle. Idle for about 10/15 seconds then turn off.
Restart the truck and drive as usual. It will take at least 12 starts and 48 miles to fully retune the computer. Hard Codes leave a shaddow for 40 full cold starts.
