Greetings.
I'll get straight to the juicy part:
4-5 months ago I noticed that my truck would momentarily lose power and flash the 'Check Engine' warning light. This always happened at a very specific position of the throttle pedal. The diagnostic tool at the shop showed us a faulty TPS so I said ok and had it changed for a quite hefty amount.
2 months later, when all was looking ok I started hearing humming noises when running at ~1500 RPM. My mechanic was really baffled by this and said I should monitor it and see if it got louder or happened on any other RPM range too. Now, at the same RPM (~1500), hence at a specific pedal position for a specific gear, I get the same power loss and check engine ligh, without the humming !! I'm not 100% sure, but I think that when I hear the humming there's no power loss and vice versa.
Is my TPS fialing again??? or is it something else dying ? Could it be some sort of electrical short somewhere electrocuting the TPS and God knows what else???
I'm getting really worried about this, especially when I cannot keep a constant speed in traffic.....
