intermetant throttle responce
Fist off,let me say I have been lurking for the last few days,,,what a wealth of information,,great site!!!
Hopefully you guys or gals can help me with my problem!
The pedal was feeling "spongy" the other day headed home from work,so I changed the fuel filters about 4000 back, but figured what the heck, and I got some new ones and changed them. Drove down to the gas station,,ran great!!! Got back in after $105 bucks worth,,and no resonce from the pedal at all,,,,time for a new throttle positioning sensor,(gas pedal) next day,bolted it on,,Ran Great!! went on to work next morning,,got to the stop sign,,,no pedal responce,,,idled into a drive way,,shut it off and on about 6 times,,pedal came back,,went to work,,after work,,same no pedal,,about 6 more times,,pedal came back to life,,drove home,,,got on this site and started reading the information here,,what a bunch!!!! and Thank you a bunch!!!
Finally desided to replace the cam sensor,,,$40 buck later and 600 cuts to the arm,lost 4 qts. of blood,,,but ran Great,,until tonight
went to go get a pizza about 2 miles down the road and before I shut the truck off I noticed the pedal was spongy reacting and when I got to the parking lot,,the tach was flucuating about 100 rpm down and 100 back positive of normal idle,,,when I came back out with pizza in hand,,,no start or pedal,,,started about 6 times and killed about 6 times,,the 7th,,the pedal comes back to life,,I am at my wits end,,,I feel like it is electrical,,but don't know where to go to from here
I don't have a scanner,but no CEL is coming on either,,,
this is on a 04 F250 FX4 that is as clean as a whistle,,92000 with the fluides changed on a regular bases
you can eat off the engine and I pull a 28'TT as I travel to work away from home,( live in Weatherford TX,Work in Beaumont TX)
sorry for the long winded post,,but I need some advice before I give in and take it to the dealership for a true beating!!!
Thank you inadvance for your time and knowledge,,,Tommmy

What turned out to be the problem? Mine is doing the same thing... not quite as bad I can keep it running and it'll come back at some point I have had to idle threw several intersections after a red light... it's only stalled once... and I have put a code reader on it with no codes... 06 F250 Powerstroke FX4 4x4 crew cab long bed...
