surging?

97 F250. Throttle just barely cracked open, the truck has a slight surge. Goes away under heavier throttle. Could it be the Throttle position sensor, or throttle switch??? I'm getting no codes.

Yes, that's what it feels like to me. I haven't even looked at it yet. Is the TPS at the top of the go pedal, up under the dash? Thanks!

No, never dies. But I think the surge goes away when the eng. is warm.

This is what I have on my go pedal. (accelerator pedal position sensor) Click on link... Store Locator | NAPA Online

I don't know where this is located on my truck? (Throttle position sensor)click on link..... Store Locator | NAPA Online

Any ideas? Still no codes, just a slight surge under light acceleration from a stop.
