other symptoms that I've expeirenced is a dead spot through out the range, you'll be accelerating and then the engine drops out to idle, push down a little further and it accelerated like normal, you devolp a dead spot by cruising a set speed off the pedal over a few year, it eventually wears out in the paticular spot.

Mine started giving me a bucking, at first I thaught my stupid engine was accting up again, I pulled out the scanner and slowly depressed the accelerater and watched the percent load on the TPS and it would go something like 10%, 20%, 30% 90% 70%50% 60% then 100%. It was kinda messed up none the less, still hav'nt changed it though cause I do mostly highway and I sit on the cruise.

Gotta change it soon though cause it cant be good but my stupid truck already socked me $3000 this year from front end work, to brakes, to cracked rims and tires down to the stupid transmission and exhaust, thats just parts only and it was not a trans rebuild
