Question Weak Acceleration from Stop, otherwise fine when driving.
01, 1500 4x4 sport off road- 106k. Can anyone help with this? The title explains it all. Just happened tonight. The trans is 30k old, and the engine runs like a champ. WHen I goose it while at cruising speeds, it accelerated flawlessly. Its only from a complete stop.

have you checked the fluid level when hot, idling in neutral?

Could be you TPS. Follow the steps outlined in the Haynes manual to test it.
