No throttle peddle response

[Hooper]

This morning I started my truck, let it warm for a 3-4 minutes, got in to go but had not throttle response. It was idling normally, but when I put it in reverse and applied throttle, it just continued to idle. After pumping the throttle a few times it picked it up and away I went. Seem to recall it doing this before but its been awhile. Any ideas? Pedal position sensor??

Any idea what the test procedure is for the sensor?

Don't mess with it. You will not have the computer controls to check it out. Here is a replacement: Ford Parts Direct Online: Buy genuine Ford OEM auto parts & aftermarket accessories at wholesale prices. Do a search for Throttle Position Sensor and you will find that it is a $50.00 part.

Or you can check out the part here. Should be same thing just a little cheaper. Just search for the same thing. Sorry about that Dave, I'm probably the cheapest SOB around and would find it cheaper by the Penny I would go for it.

You are right, Ckyle. They are cheaper. I have bookmarked the site. Thanks.

I'm having a similar problem. I have no throttle response, a blown fuse #45, no working gauges or odometer and the overdrive button does not work. I replaced the fuse and it came back to life, but then this morning it had all of the above symptoms minus the blown fuse. After tapping the petal a few times, it all came back. Your thoughts and comments will be appreciated.
