Tps?????

Ok this is what its doin....When ur drivin at 45 and just coastin and then go to get back on the throttle as soon as the truck hits 50 mph all power is lost. It feels like the turbo falls off. then if i let out the pedal and get back on to it, it clears up. Sometimes that doesnt work but if i smash it it recognizes the passing gear and the power instantly returns. It has not done this since last summer. All during the winter i had no problems. now that its starting to get warm its actin up again. Any insight?????

Thanks in Advance

Don't know if your scenario is APPS (TPS) or not...... but mine was bad with no codes or CEL.
If you decide that could be the problem..... go this route instead of expensive new APPS from Dodge.

Works great and saves a lot of money.

Parts stores loan scanners. Key codes don't show much. You really need to use a scanner or take it to a mechanic.
