Default The wonders of a bad TPS

Well I had a few little nuances with my 01 5.2 - not much of a fast idle when cold, doggy acceleration, and shift points that were all over the map... grabbed a new TPS.. it's like I got a new truck!! Lol

Eh, every once in a while something goes my way...not very often, but it does happen...lol

I didn't get any codes but I knew something was up with the shift points - I pretty much had no second gear, it shifted almost immediately into 3rd. This is really bad as you spend a ton of time lugging the engine. It's nice now though!

I've heard quite a few stories about the TPS and tranny nightmares... People have gone through $3K rebuilds only to find out it was a TPS...
