TPS Problems
1994 F150 XL
4.9L 300 I6
M5OD
Ok the only real way I can explain this is like this, so bare with me.
Say the speed limit is 40 MPH, I'll get TO 40 MPH, and when I try keep it there my truck will start to feel like it's dying, pretty much the same feeling as if you were running out of gas. But if I accelerate, my truck will run smooth again. I have never had this happen to me in any other vehicle I have driven.
(BTW it happens EVERY time I try to hold a STEADY speed, not just 40 MPH)
Here's the real catch, I have already replaced the TPS once about 2 months ago with a expensive one (can't remember brand), and now it is acting up again.
I pulled codes and I got code 73 and others that I have yet to get to.
73 means this - Insufficient TP change during dynamic test
Could it be connectors, wires, or anything like the sort? Help it's really annoying.
Any ideas? Would really like to get this fixed ASAP!!
FTE has always given me solid answers or at least answers in the right direction
