Dead pedal. TPS test how to do this?

Hey guys this morning going up a small hill in 2nd couldn't get her to rev up. I had the go pedal to the floor and did not have any response. I don't think's it's the APPS and wanted to know if anyone had input on how to test the TPS. Or if you have an idea of what this may have been drop a post. I cycled the ignition and after a restart it cleared and I was getting my usual pedal response. Only code I saw was P0216.

APPS replaced the TPS for the 24 valve engines.

P0216 Fuel Injection Pump Timing Failure

Known as the code of death for the VP44.

My condolences for your loss.

With the items in your sig, you'll be very very lucky to get it covered under warranty.

Thanks Phox.

Ya I just read the OBD-P codes and saw the injection timing issue. Lovely. I don't expect them to warranty it unless they just think I'm a really nice guy. I'm not holding my breath.

Anyone have a good VP44 lying around?
