Before you start blindly changing parts, describe what problem you are having, and if you have not done so pull the codes. Ford Fuel Injection has a simple proceedure for this requiring only a paperclip or short piece of wire. You just put the clip/wire across a couple pins on the EEC test connector and count the flashes on the check engine light.

you need to describe what your vehicle is doing to get help.
like: is pedal stiff, unresponsive, idle high, idle low, flat spot when pressing pedal.
all trying to read your mind.
hope this helps.

It will idle high at start up, then lately when im driving it will rev high but not move as fast as how high it revs. When pulling off a stop ill give it gas and it will rev high i dont have a tac so i cant tell you the rpm, but it moves slower than it sounds. Trying to explain best as i can here.

the iac=idle air control is on the side of the t. body and is probably the problem.
you did get a manual by now i hope.
you can try to clean it and it may help but it usually needs to be replaced.
do an advanced search in this forum on iac.
if you try to clean it, disconnect the batt. to reset computer.
take for a drive, shut off for a while and see if it got better.

The TPS does control the oil pressure in the transmission but I would not think it is all of your problems.

The TPS can give a LOT of different symptoms when it's going bad. There's no specific symptom for it.
Do a search, you'll find a fairly recent thread where about ten guys give the symptoms their truck had when the TPS went out, and they pretty much all were different.
