Hey guys, havent been around for a long time. I have been lurking around for the past week or so and finally remembered my username. The other day I was bored and was sitting in my truck and just because i turned the key on and off a few times(think it was 3 cycles) and the odometer flashed and said "done". What is my truck done with?

Also my truck just doesnt seem to have the responsiveness it used to. I used to push the skinny pedal and it would go, but now if I am on the highway I have to depress the peddle to about half way to get it off of around 1600 rpms. There is no change in rpm from nest to no throttle till around the point it downshifts?

Thanks in advance, Its good to be back and I have some updates to make

 

Welcome back.
Your truck is done and ready to be retired now.

Actually, it does a self diagnostic trst when you do that and no cades are present, so it was done with the test.


You might try resetting the TPS sensor. Turn the key on (don't start), wait for the majority of the warning lamps to go out, maybe 10 sec., then slowly push the gas pedal to the floor and slowly release it. Turn the key off then start it and go for a ride. See it it feels any better.

 

please explain this ?

 

It resets the TPS drive by wire system. It can often lead to better throttle response and sometimes eliminates dead spots and other related issues.
Give it a shot Ramhunter, it won't hurt anything. I do mine about once a month for the heck of it.

 

i did it didnt feel anydifferent but now i no ...so whats the point in this re-set?

 

It just means that yours was ok. If the drive by wire gets out of sync, it will cause drivability issues.
