Ok guys, this truck is driving me nucking futs! I keep getting intermittent loss of throttle. The lightning bolt will flash once or twice then the truck will recover.
It will go a month without doing it, then BAM! Go pedal no worky.

This **** started back in December. The dealer replaced the TB and I've replaced the plugs.

Then about 2 months ago it started doing it again. The CEL does not come on when it happens. Just motoring down the highway, and the engine just drops to idle with the light on the dash flashing.

Another thing that happens is I keep losing cruise control. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
I haven't gotten another brakelight switch that we talked about here: https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen...long-post.html I felt that I can live without cruise for the time being. Until I get this throttle issue fixed. But now I wonder if they are related,

I'm hoping someone here can give me some insight on this.

 

Have you re-calibrated your TPS? Try that first if you have not, if that doesn't work, you'll probably need a new one...

 

How do I do that? I thought the TPS is an integral part of the TB.

 

The Throttle Position Sensor? Not hardly. Just do a search, there has got to be 50+ posts in this section telling how to do the recalibration. It comes up every week or so...

 

OK found it Thanks Hammer.

I'll try that and see what happens.

 

Since this comes up so often the procedore for tps recalibration has been placed in the FAQ section here: https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen...ml#post1711153

Sounds to me like a bad pedal assembly. Possibly a bad spot on the rheostat.

 

i am going to try this tonight before i go to work, can't hurt. mine is not as bad as Trigger, nor is it cutting off. but i do feel some hesitation in it. thanks for the link
