Dusted off the connections to my TPS and a few other electrical issues and my truck has run good since.

So I pulled the vacuum hose at the brake booster and no issues. Of course brakes are impossibly stiff. Now I will test a directional valve, but I suspect a bad brake booster.

Have you changed the fuel filter ? Also check your wiring under the hood . The water temp sensor wires sometimes go bad at the sensor .

Don't jump back on an old thread. People don't look at the dates.

Not to mention he was trying to jack this thread back when the OP first started it. It's really not that hard to just start your own damn thread and not steal/revive old ones.
