losing throttel while driving?

I have this weird issue where my truck will lose throttle for a few seconds while driving, seems to be in different times but rpm ranges above 800 and below 2000rpms.


if i let off the pedal, and go back in it works after like 2 secs.

i was thinking throttle position sensor, has anybody else encountered this?

i have 2 codes but they both point to cam sensor which i have just replaced.

Classic vp computer problem.
Sorry.
Mine did it and if I could keep the speed above 60 it ran fine all day. Slow down and it was there.
