Throttle position sensor..?

Hey all I’m new my names Kai and I recently bought a beat up 7.3. I finally got it legal on the road and it’s driving like a dream except for a couple things.. Randomly when I’m driving I will go to accelerate and nothing will happen. It doesn’t stall or anything, literally nothing happens. I give it a second or two and try again and it’s like nothing happened. Also, it idles a little rough. Nothing crazy, it just likes to randomly have a small hiccup. Does anyone have any ideas? I’m pretty mechanically inclined but a baby to the diesel world. Anything you guys could give me would be appreciated. Thanks!

Check the ICM. drivers wheel well, remove the inner fender plastic, look literally right behind the emblem inside the fender. 10mm bolt I believe removes the connector, check it for corrosion/oxidation. After that check the connectors on the top edge of the valve covers, these are the connections to the injectors hidden under the valve cover.
