Default Problem fixed!

ok, so was havin problems a while back, and its been feelin limk the tranny was slipin n goin to hell on me, so bad yeasterday it was shiftin down hard and bumpin n went as far as that when i came to a stop it bogged down and died on me, and every time i came to a stop sign n the neighborhood it was feelin to die so i jus had to roll around the signs, and finaly the service light came on and the overdrive on the stick was flashin,, day before i finally went into ford to have them replace the tranny fluid,, today i opend the hood to find that 1st of all the damn filter box wasnt ***in connectd to the "GOtts mod" which was farily simple to figure out and u think if they couldnt figure it out they could ask me or tell me nsted of just leavin it disconnected... but took it to autozone and it had 2 codes 1121 and 0734 (i thnk) and it turned out that all my problems wer commin from my tps (throttle position sensor) replaced that today, and all is well!!!

and by the way my tranny fluid was damn near black
i heard it can somtimes help to leave the dirty tranny fluid n ther with alot of miles but i had mine placed on the machine n they cycled it n cleand it and all is well and runnin good now

happy to answer any questions

my truck has been randomly missing every once and a while and seems sluggish when i give it gas but no engine light. also once and a while when i drive then turn it off for like 10 min running an errand and go to leave it stutters and you give it gas and the whole truck just sputters and almost stalls. ive replace plugs wires and igniton coil also recently rebuilt the engine. was wondering if these were the starting system of your tps going?

my truck didnt feel like it was missin, it just felt like my tranny was goin or the torque converter had gone, it wouldnt shift right between gears somtimes and would bog down when coming to a stop and jumped when shifting and it really felt like it coulda been costin me 3000 bucks lol sryy if this isnt what your truck is doing /: hopefully itll throw some codes soon and youll get it figured out! goodluck!
