Truck will only idle
I have a '99 Dodge Cummins that has had the light on for about two days. Last night it suddenly died and when I restarted the engine it would only idle. There was no response to the throttle and the throttle cable in still in tact. Any ideas?

Try following this procedure.
https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...n&onlynewfaq=1
It should get you back on the road for awhile.
You'll proably need to start looking for a APPS soon though.
I'm in the same boat.

It is the big sensor that the throttle cable hooks to on your engine
where the cable hooks...sometimes is covered with a plastic cover..sometimes not
it is located directly above the VP44...and I believe is mounted with 3 bolts

24 valve engines are fly-by-wire, no physical connection between the go-fast pedal and the engine,
computer does everything.
