2000 F-350 7.3L no guages or throttle, I checked the fuses and no luck. Just wondering if anybody else has had a similar problem any help would be awsome!

 

Welcome to FTE,Does it start ? Give us some more info ,Have you changed anything ?

 

A buddy of mine had the exact same symtoms and his problem was the wires running to the overdrive button were shorting out. Double check your fuses, because it blew one of his.

 

2002 f 250 7.3 same problem. can be going down the road and intermittenly my guages will drop and i have no throttle response. had at a ford dealership for two and a half weeks, they replaced the tps. gave temporary fix but three weeks later same problem. if any luck please send me a reply, and i will do you the same.

 

I have a 2000 7.3 250k mi and recently same thing happened. I have some infoet me see if I can copy and paste... here it is!
""""Try unplugging the wiring connector that hooks onto the go pedal. Check for any signs of corrosion and plug it back in. Sounds like a TPS or IVS issue.""""

""""There is a microswitch on the throttle pedal that must work or you end up with the problems you describe.

Check to be sure you hear the Idle Validation Switch (IVS).

If it gets dirty, it can become intermittent. Then, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) thinks the pedal has no foot pressure and remains at idle.

It's just a small microswitch mounted in the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS).

You should be able to hear it "click".

Also, if fuse 45 is blown, you are not supplying voltage to the Idle Validation Switch (IVS), and thus the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is not seeing it when the pedal is fully released at start-up. This means "idle only" until the PCM does see the voltage.

Find out where the short (usually a chafed wire) is, as that's likely to be what it is. It can be on either side of the switch's wiring in this case.""""
