Question touchy throttle

My '05 250 5.4 seems to have an incredibly sensitive throttle when driving slowly like through a parking lot. I have no check engine light but it is very pronounced and irritating. I'm assuming it's some sort of sensor issue.

Anybody elses truck do this? Any ideas?

The new 5.4L 3v and V10 3v engines use a "drive by wire" setup. They are sensors that replace the linkage found in the older models.

If I recall...the '05 SD's have a TSB on that system.

Good luck...

My truck ('05 F250 5.4) does the same thing. I can't find the TSB about it though. Anybody else know anything about this?
