HELP throttle issue

Hello everyone. I have a 2003 F-550 w/7/3 auto trans. I have a guy broke down on the road that says he has no throttle response and the truck will only idle. I believe that it may be a fuse but not sure. Can anyone tell me what to check please

He needs to get the codes read. Sounds like the TPS (throttle position sensor) may have a bad connection or needs changing.

Another potential item to check is the OD wire from the shift lever. It can ground out in the steering column and blow a fuse that will cause the same symptoms.

Here is a nice write up by wood-n-things:
