Bad missing problem solved
My whole missing and not running properly problem was indead the TPS. Easy to replace for 27 dollars and some change.
It caused truck to buck, not idle properly, not have much power and such, all cause of lack of fuel. so, if you haveing some of these problems. REPLACE OR CHECK IT!

My truck is only missing under heavy accleration. Once you get up to say 25mph, you can use almost 90% throttle and it runs smooth. Was that what your truck was doing, or was it missing all the time?

Just want to say I just got done taking the TPS off and spraying it with some WD-40 (I didn't have any carb or brake cleaner) and towel cleaning it, and my truck runs like a champ now.
Boo ya!

the problem with the TPS is it wears out. so that might be only a temp fix dayuiz.
The flat spots cause it to not give correct readings.
Probably should replace it. its so easy to take off, 4 bolts and 2 screws. i take both the coolant lines off too though so i can flip it over easier.
