Hey guys,
So a new gremlin has crept into my engine bay: This weekend, it happened to me twice...the engine will drop down to about 1000 RPMs and will bounce around from 0 to ~1000 RPMs and then die. Increasing the throttle has no effect, it just sits there, surging and eventually dying. If I leave the engine off for about 15 minutes, the truck will start up normally, and will act normally for about 100 miles. Computer gives me fault code 18, and I suspect it is the throttle position sensor...before I go out a buy a new one, do you folks think the symptoms agree on a throttle position sensor...?
Thanks
