No Throttle

Is anyone having this problem. Hit the throttle and nothing? This seems to be prevalent on start up. Start the motor and hit the gas and there is nothing there. Release the pedal and do it again and it usually works.<br><br>I know the 03 has an electronic throttle. Mine obviously has a problem. Anyone else experience this??<br><br>Gary

Re:No Throttle

Nope. Sounds like it may be the APS (Accelerator Position Sensor) but I would think the computer would have set a code. Should be checked out by your dealer though.<br><br>Casey

Gary, I haven't experienced this either. Have it checked out and let us know how it goes.

Re:No Throttle

Did you guys know that if you, with key off hold down the trip odometer reset button then turn the key on and continue to hold down the reset button, your truck will run a diagnostic and i think tell you a code # for what is not working on the odometer side digital ;D[move]This is cool[/move]
