F250 Throttle Issues

[Blueburby1]

I'm having trouble with my sisters 01 7.3l F250.

Just finished replacing positive Cable assembly and batteries, but I'm getting intermittent throttle drop. as in I can drive along and suddenly the pedal stops responding entirely, and sometimes but not always the SES flashes when this happens.

I can't pull codes cause of an issue with the OBD Port, which I need to ALSO figure out :/

any one ever have these issues?

I had one do that,ended up adjusting,and cleaning, the switch under the throttle peddle. It is no longer available from Ford.

Figures :/

I was thinking in my head the whole time...gotta be the throttle sensor...

is there a dorman replacement maybe?

The one I worked on had a switch and a throttle position sensor. Prior to adjusting the switch it would have no throttle when cold,just idle. If I didn't have it set close enough it would also randomly loose throttle while driving.

Found the APP through Dorman. I'll try and fix the OBD Port first, hopefully the code confirms suspicions on APP issue, and then I can just replace the APP. Makes sense though, while I was driving I was thinking in my head it was a throttle sensor issue.

The 7.3L is also known for the ICP sensor failing and causing it to fail to idle.

Sometimes when the 7.3L senses a problem with the ICP(injector control pressure, or high pressure oil system), it will default to idle or limp mode. So make sure what the code is before you do anything to it.
