problem with 97 psd

I have a 1997 crew cab psd with about 170k on it. For a few weeks just every once in a while after I let out on the clutch either from a stop or going down the road, I will push on the gas pedal and get nothing. The truck has not died it is just idling and once I let up on the pedal and push it again it is fine. Any suggestions will be appreciated. I also could use the part number for the block heater on this truck. It was not working last winter and I need to replace it this spring.

tps sounds like its going out. bad thing is you have to buy the whole pedal. search around for a used one. i bought a used one to keep as a spare for 75 and they are like 200 new or so.

yep I would agree with 1997f-350 its the pedal assembly going out. could be a connection so check those close before you replace it.

Its sounds like the IVS (Idle Validation Switch) is not dis-engaging. Check the switch for sticking, broken or torn rubber boot over the button letting dirt in, connections on IVS, bent tab on the pedal that activates the IVS.

Also glad to see you back 1997F-350.
