Default Trouble with my 5.0L V8

I got a 95 F150 V8 5.0L auto

when i'm rolling around, the truck seem to slow down even when my foot didnt move from the pedal

and when i'm at a light, i press the gaz and nothing happens.. i hear some strange *toc* than the truck start at full throttle..

i tryed to change my Throttle position Sensor and that didnt change anything...

Oh no, the dreaded 33 code.

Let's hope your experience turns out to be less intensive than alien's:

Plug the vacuum back in, clear the codes and see if the code comes back.

That's nice... With the vacuum unplugged, it won't open. The computer still wonders what the hell is going on, though. If you want to check for EGR movement, plug another vac line on the valve, and suck on it. You'll be able to see it move through the little holes around the bottom.

The simple bet would be what sean said - plug 'er in and see what happens. The previous owner might have thought they really did a custom performance upgrade with that little screw! (hopefully the vacuum fitting will still get good suction after being boogered up with a screw in it)
