Gas Pedal

I am having an issue with the go pedal. The last few times I have started my truck the gas pedal has not responded to any pressure applied. The truck starts just fine, idles fine. when I push on the pedal the first time to start driving nothing happens. After i pump it once it comes back to life as though nothing happened. It sounds like a TPS issue but i am not sure why it would only quit for that first push. There are no issues after that. Operates normally under regular driving. Would the TPS throw a code for something like this? I do not have the ability to read codes but could find somebody to do that if need be. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Try cleaning it with electric contact cleaner. They get dirty and cause your symptoms.

The IVS may be out of adjustment or sticking too.
