gas pedal occaisonally does nothing

I removed the tps and ten re-installed it. On occasion I do the 100 gas pedal stomp. I believe you can buy a new tps now from some parts houses.

 

APPS sensor ? which they dont make/sell available separate from a whole new TB

I did that until recently it stopped working. Changed tps and still doing it.

 

The 'apps sensor' was commonly used in late 90's dodge's with the Cummins.....

they where notorious for going out.

But at least you can buy another one.....


When Toyota did same in 03/04 engines.........that sensor separate from the TB....
is NO BUENO........not even aftermarket....

its a national secret they're trying to keep from the Russians....
maybe a bunch of captured Hi-lux's they need to keep out of service....


Everybody that has an 03/04 and is lucky enough to still have it......
will eventually fall to this......it's 'progress'....

 

How is this issue actually repaired. I'm doing the same thing. What is it doing to make this work temporarily? I changed my TPS and it didn't help.

 

It could be a grounding problem. These trucks are getting old, check for codes, last resort change the throttle body

 

Ok thank you!
