Yah, tis the TPS alright, tis only us IDI folks that call them FIPLs, everyone else knows them as TPSs. And your tank issue is a common and well known problem, honestly whoever sold you that truck should have warned you about it - when I was getting my truck the old owner warned me not to go under 1/4 tanks, he said he never had any issues with it but just to be on the safe side to keep both tanks over 1/4 full. Tis been an year now and I still haven't had that issue, knocking on wood...

Both my tanks are fine I useualy bont go below a quater on the fron because the sender is off ans says empty while theres a quater tank left. yeah they always look at me funny at the parts store when I call parts by their proper name. I defy you to show me the throtle on an IDI or a 7.3 or later 6.0 they did use one on the early 6.0 for EGR mixing purposes.

Dose the light on the od cancel *** work? This problem yould be making it go nuts. Have you had your trans checked for codes? Also check all your grounds and make sure you have a good conection on the negative post of the drivers side battery.
This is definately a strange problem.

Did you ever track down that clicking sound on the passenger inside fender? I just remembered that my truck has an external regulator for the alternator that is located there. If the regulator goes crazy on the alternator, it will affect the computer. Low power might mean the shift solenoids can't activate properly. With both shift solenoids off, the valve body defaults to 4th gear.
Can anyone remember or post what year they started to use alternators with internal regulators on these engines?
