Chasing ghosts
Update, now have gone through 3 TPS in six months and have a cylinder 3 misfire that happens right before the sensor goes out. All 16 lifters we're replaced but not values. We have switched things from cylinder to cylinder but 3 keeps misfiring. Could my TPS problems be from the misfires, I have a mechanical throttle body.
Currently have a 2004 Dodge ram 1500 with a 4.7L motor in it. Need some help hunting down my ghost, both lifters was replaced but was extremely dirty, even though the new lifters now tick as well, when started on a cold start. Replaced the TPS sensor, map sensor, fuel sensor, and the fuel pump. Truck sits in a rough idle at all times and keeps kicking out a code p0303. Don't know where my ghost is can anyone help?

Try switching the coil pack or ignition wire to another cylinder. Same thing with the spark plug, So #1 move the coil too and #5 move the spark plug too. Does the misfire stay on number 3? If it doesn't move to another cylinder. Do a dry and wet compression test on the cylinder. If you replace the lifters, What about the rockers? Could also be a camshaft starting to go flat.

Both sides were done, but after we replaced the left side there is a constant tick that comes from that side

There are 16 lifters... did you only replace a few? What brand lifters did you use?
4.7 doesn't have pushrods.
