failed accelerator pedal?!?!?
I did a search, but nobody seemed to have this same exact issue. Was stopped at a light yesterday, went to accelerate, and nothing. Truck idles fine, starts fine, just won't accelerate. Could it really be something as simple as the accelerator pedal!?!?

You can get a replacement throttle position switch from the parts store. I'm not sure of the number but I do know that Dorman makes it.
Found it:
If the link doesn't work the part # is 699-200 Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor
Dorman Products - 699-200

The IVS (Idle Validation Switch) contacts are normally open. They should close when you press the skinny peddle to send a signal to the PCM that you are off idle. Without that signal the PCM will ignore the throttle position signals. Dirty contacts of the IVS will give the symptoms you have described. You can try some contact cleaner spray to see if that helps before buying a new TPS.

I know exactly what your problem is! I had this happen last year, it will keep blowing that fuse - guaranteed - it will usually happen during turn. The issue is a wire that is rubbing within the steering column due to a bad wiper control/cruise control paddle on the steering column. You need to replace the controller on the right side of the column. Take the column apart and you can remove it pretty easy. I seem to remember that the controller was about $40.
I was completely dumbfounded, but do a search, and you'll find the info here.
