Idle Validation Sensor
#16
If it were mine, I'd pop it out (it's only three small nuts that hold it in). That way you can use a DVM to see if the switch is electrically operational, whether you can hear it or not.
Here's a schematic of the wiring for the IVS part of the truck:

and here's the accelerator pedal position sensor part:
http://www.e-toolbox.com/ads/wiring/va137404.pdf
What you're looking for is at the bottom of each of those pages.
These diagrams are for what's called "early production", and "late production" are the ones with a single plug instead of two, but the WIRE COLORS are the same in both cases, so test the IVS by reading the continuity between the pins that are attached to the RED/LT GRN and RED/YEL wires.
Here is the diagram for "late"

The IVS should read "closed" at the idle position only.

I don't think he's going to find anything wrong with his pedal assembly, including the switch.
He's chasing a very different problem, and this just MAY be part of the problem, but I don't see it likely.
Why suggest a new pedal assembly? I think it would be money ill-spent, at least given what he's currently seeing as his problem.
What was the problem that caused you to replace yours?

My bad, didn't read the link back to original thread, just saw that Napa is carrying parts now, for roughly the same money as the OEM part.
When mine started to flake out, would start truck, put in gear, and no go when i hit the pedal. Wait 10 seconds, try again, and it worked for a few days. Then it started getting worse, going down road, drop to idle, then wham, back to where I had my foot positioned. Run for a few hours, then get weirded out again. I took it apart, cleaned everything with contact cleaner, reassembled. Fine for a few days, then the same deal over again, random no go pedal, be it cruising speeds, take off, or what ever, no pattern, totally random. That said, mine was on the accelrator side, not the IVS side. Three months with new assembly and no issues to date.

Guys thanks for all the guidance, but I don't think the IVS is causing my problem. Interestingly, the pedal assembly on there is completely sealed so cleaning is not an option. All the plug contacts looked clean, but I checked them and cleaned them anyway. These are the numbers that were on the assembly:
1034-9F-836-CA + L3 A1243144 + >PA66-6F33<
I'm moving onto other causes. Just checked all the wiring harnesses, pulled most plugs and cleaned and applied dielectric grease. In the process found my water pump is leaking - good to know.
