No power...

Tried a search but came up empty...
I'll try to describe this as best I can, Sometimes (not always) if the truck sits for a bit after a short drive, she will not respond to the gas pedal. The engine will remain at idle speed. I can go right to the floor with no response.
It's kind of scary when pulling out onto the road.

The only way I can get it to respond is pull over, stop, and then proceed. (not shutting the engine off)

Any ideas?? 2001 2500 4X4 QC A/T

Thanks
Doug

Try the APPS reset.

Accelerator
Pedal
Position
Sensor

Hopefully that will work.

OK...I tried the APPS with no improvement. BTW...I happened to look at the go pedal and my truck has a throttle cable.

Any other ideas?

Had the same problem, resetting APPS did not help my situation.

Took it to the Dealer and they confirmed a bad APPS. Dealer ordered a new one under warrenty and they are replacing it tomorrow.
