I was told by a motorcycle mechanic that somethimes the computer loses the zero to 100% scale of the TPS and causes the bike to run sh@#y so I thought just about every motor now is fuel injected so I tried this procedure on my truck and it fixed it. I'm glad it has fixed ya'll's truck, maybe the word will get around and people can save some money for X-mas and the kids.

LOL. This is crazy. I don't know why this works (key in the on position, pedal down slowly, back off - x 3). Did I overlook the reason it works in the posts above. Much better response in my '04 scab.

Wish I would have known about this earlier.

Free performance is always the best!
