You may have a faulty TPS. Youtube has several vids on how to test, very simple on a ford

If you suspect the tps, connect up your friends scanner and watch the reading change for that sensor as you press on the pedal. You would look for voltages out of range, no voltage or a dead spot that will either drop off or stay flat for that section.

I just got back home from offshore, totally removed an xleaned throttle body, seafoamed it and cleaned maf. And STILL doing it! Whats the best gas to use to set it on fire with? Unleaded? Hahaha

I guess I can check this throttle thing out now.

Kerosene would probably work best haha.

Just want to ask a simple question that I might have missed the answer to earlier in the thread, but what brand fuel pump did you use? When mine died, I went through 3 Airtex pumps that all did what you're describing. If I tried to accelerate from a rolling stop, my truck would fall flat on its face. I eventually went back to a Motorcraft pump ($$$) and that fixed the problem.
