Go problems
Ok it has been a long time since I have been on the site, new jobs, longer commutes and kids. I have missed reading and learning from you guys and when I couldn't get a straight answer from anyone else about my truck, I know I can turn to this forum. I have a '97 crew cab 4x4 with little mods done to it. My problem is when I'm driving about 45mph and I get on it, the truck doesn't down shift and go. It just struggles a bit until the speed and rmp's match up and then it goes. When I'm stopped and I get on it it will move like there isn't a problem. I have noticed that my milage is not as good as it use to be. I have replaced the throttle positioning sensor on the side of the pedal and I had the transmission checked out. Could my problem be in the pedal? I'm lost right now and not sure what to look for anymore, any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I replaced the CPS about two years ago with an international (blue one) and I'm due for an oil, fuel filter change this weekend. I will make sure that I clean the screen. I have not done the FPR mod to my truck, would it help?

It bumps fuel pressure up a bit,it only takes a few minutes to do the mod.......There is a recall for the CPS from Ford...I went in and told them I had replaced it a few weeks prior and they just handed me one after taking the VIN.....swap in the new one....keep the old for a spare or throw it out if your problem go away......they are cheap now to keep a spare,about 25.00.
