97 Powerstroke throttle position sensor

My truck had an intermittent problem this winter when cold - pressing the accelerator would have no effect or there wold be a delay of a second or so. After a couple of times the check engine light came on. I took it to a diagnostic shop and they pulled codes P0221 and P0478. They could not get the problem to occur again, and I haven't had it happen either. The P0221 code is related to the throttle pedal position sensor. Has anyone seen this problem?

There is a super section here for diesels. If you scroll down a bit you will come to the Diesel Section with pages for the various diesels. My advice would for you to post this on the powerstroke page. You should get plenty of help there. Good luck.
