have you cleaned the ground connections?

do you have an analog voltmeter..if you do, find the wire that the APPS output..with key on and engine not running..manually move the throttle.
the voltage should change from near 0 to about 5v.. smoothly..
if its not smooth..search other posts for timbo..and get a replacement apps...if it is smooth...it might be IP.

any idea on the fuel pressure?
any codes in the computer?

what more do you want on xmas

well i dnt think its a fuel issue issue cause sometimes it will drive fine so i ended up taking it to dodge and they came back with a code for my output speed sensor this would explain everything that im experiencing too so they told me they could replace it for 200 bucks so i laughed at them and went and bought the sensor myself spent 16 $$$ the sensor from dodge was 30 and put it in.in the oriellys parking lot now truck runs great . i appreciate your help though i was so lost on this one lol
