Another 87 F150 problem

When going around a corner and making a quick right turn kind of fast engine cuts out all of a sudden. Also, intermittently when letting off the gas and coasting it feels like it's being held back a little and just a slight amount of touch on the gas pedal and it goes away. TPS not adjusted right? Shop just replaced it when I noticed this issue...

maybe they didn't disconnect the battery for (15minutes?) the computer to relearn the inputs.

TPS should be .9volts key on, engine off btw.

Cheers,

If you haven't already, I would clean the idle air control valve. It is located on the side of the throttle body, and over time can get buildup inside that causes it to not function correctly, and could possibly cause problems like you are experiencing. If you have cleaned it recently, and even if you haven't, it might be worthwhile to pull the codes to see if anything comes up that would point to the problem. You can pull codes yourself, instructions are here if you haven't pulled them before: http://www.thorssell.net/hbook/eectest.html
