Engine Hesitation

My current problem is while I'm driving i will have my foot on the gas then suddenly the engine will stop accelerating completely for about 2 seconds at a time. It happens most requently right after the engine is turned on but still occurs after that.

Only thing I have done to the truck recently was I switched over to synthetic oil. I thought the issue could do with the fact that I didn't get another oil change right away but I got an oil change today and the problem still persists. Any input or help will be much appreciated. Hopefully and inexpensive fix im sick of this money shit...

 

have you checked the plugs? where do you buy gas?

 

I was sort of leaning towards checking the plugs too. Currently on a tank of chevron gas but the problem started on a tank of arco...

 

do you know how long its been since the plugs were changed?

 

I got new plugs only ~15k miles ago I'm currently at 112k.

Care to tell me more about the TPS?

 

That sounds exactly like my problem! I'll have to do that after work today and see how it works. Only problem here is having the patience to sit in a 130 degree truck without the ac on for 100 pumps hahaha

 

well since your plugs are that young and im assuming you dont have a check engine light than you prob arent experiencing misfires. Could be a dead spot in your tps.

 

Yeah no misfires or CEL. I get off work in 30 minutes so I'll let you all know how it works pumping the pedal 100 times

 

I was having similar problems a few months ago. A new TPS and a good cleaning of the throttle body fixed the problem.

 

what he said. Take the time to remove the air intake components off and TB and clean it well.

 

Going to clean my engine this weekend. 100 pumps worked as a temp fix but id like to make sure everything is prestine under the hood
