Tired of Having Power just Half the Time
I've been having some trouble and was hoping to get some help.I can get in my truck sometimes it and it'll move on down the road.And the next time I think I could push it faster!When it does this it sounds like its boggin down or like its flooding itself out.Anybody have any ideas what this could be?

How many miles on the truck? Could be any number of things. If you have done the basic maintenance stuff, I'd look at TPS next, and if that doesn't fix it, front (pre-catalytic converter) oxygen sensor.

Which one of the sensors on the throttle body is the TPS sensor?
I changed both oxygen sensors last summer as well.And the convertor has been hollowed out.

TPS is the one on driver's side. The front one facing the front of the engine bay is the MAP sensor (no touchy), and the rear one facing the cab is the IAC (only would affect idle).
