I have a 98 f150 and have replaced the throttle position sensor 4 times and it never fixes the problems. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it.

A vacuum leak can also cause those symptoms. Or if its only when you hit the gas try replacing the fuel filter.

When the trucks in park and I push the gas the motor don't miss or stall none. As soon as I put it in drive and give it gas it does it acts like it's struggling.

What engine do you have? When the last time you changed plugs and wires?
