Throttle position sensors do not usually make one die on powerstrokes. Idle is controlled by the PCM, not the gas pedal. They can cause the other symptoms though. I would scan for codes before I did anything else.

ok got it fixed 2 weeks ago.it was the IPR fixed that and it ran fine till yesterday.he called and said it shut off on him like it run out of fuel.he let it sit all day and it fired up and run for about 30 sec and died agian.i went there and tryed to start it and it would smoke but not start.checked oil in HPOP and fuel both were fine.while cranking tach would move.unpluged GP's and hit it with a lite shot of the bad stuff and it would fire up and run with me shooting it just to keep it running.going to bring it over tomorrow and i'll try my IDM on it and see if it will run.what do you guys think?
thanks john

just had a thought.when i changed the IPR the locking clips that hold the wires on broke off.if it came unpluged would it start and run funny or just not start?
action not that good with the gauge i got.have'nt figured it out yet.i guess thats what your taking about?

Definitely check the wiring , if loose it won't start ...But , you say its is smoking , that means the IPR is working . Maybe the tin nut fell off ?...
