so when i was in norcal a few weeks back. i got dead pedal and pulled a 0121 code i think. pretty much said it was a Tps error.

cleaned it off and drove back to socal. no problems untill yestrday. i was sitting at a stop light when like it did at the get together in norcal revved on it own. but this time i had to hold the breaks with both feet while at a stop light. guy infront of me wondering wth was going on . blowing smoke everywhere!. didnt dare put it in nuetral. pull of the street onto where i was going. (lukily it was on the corner where i was). where it did it more. and i shut down the truck.

now as i drive it flucuates. but has not freaked out like yesturday. but it annoying . i clean it out again. but no help. cant afford a new tps this close to x-mas. after getting gifts!

can you actually get into the case to look at these things. or am i doomed to get monkeyed for 460$$ from the dealer!

thanks

 

You can take them apart and lube the cable etc.

Hopefully someone can chime in before you need to drive again - sounds like an accident waiting to happen!

... and your sure it's not a runaway, right?

 

with the code . i would think not! i checked everything i could last night! w/o making a mess in the garage! and i do have to drive it, cause my dumb but offloaded 4 pallets of filter media at 1000lbs a peice in front of the gate. where my suzuki is parked behind!
owell i guess ill call the g/f to come pick me up

 

Oh OK - the GF changes everything!

I'd much rather get rescued by my entertainment unit than spend half an hour jacking with my APPS at night...

 

Better tow that overvalver down here with the trusty ol' suzuki and wed better get a wrenchin on that TPS.

 

460 seems pretty high, i put one on my 99 last year and i was thinking it was around 200....i may be wrong, but i would look somewhere other than the dealer

 

Priceless!!

I bought a new TPS at the dealer through my place of employment. It was about $10 cheaper than NAPA. I think it was about $230CAN. Check NAPA if you can't get a deal from the dealer.

 

It's about $400+ from the Dodge dealer. I have a brand new one in my garage that won't work on my 07. I'll let it go for what I paid for it which is a lot less than that...

 

You have an entertainment unit in the garage?

... 'ow much for jour leetle seester?

 

Funny guy!! Yes I actually have both an APPS and an entertainment system in the garage....

Both for sale....

 

H2SRDMB I see you are in the Mojave Area. If you are calling the dealer I assume it is the Lancaster Dealer. Try calling Mojave Truck. They are right on the 58 on the south side of Mojave. I have gotten parts from them for less than Cummins west. FYI on the third Thursday of every month we have our Dodge get together at Carrows on Ave K in Lancaster. 5:30 p.m. There are a lot of other resources up here in the high desert besides going to this dealer.( Whom knows squat about diesels anyway.) Would love to have another Dodge in the group.

 

well after a few cleanings it worked great this weekend. untill this morning where it went down for its last time. i did get it to barely make it up the hill to my house! thanks for all the construction, i didnt look like too much of a fool.

dieselLady. thanks for the info . i found one at cummins cal pacific in irvine. wich is where my father is working today! ( irvine not the cummins place!!!) . but i will always keep that in mind for next time.

now lets hope nothing else goes wrong on my trip to SanteFe this coming weekend!

 

well turns out cummins didnt have what i need! so now im getting a lil miffed..

anyone who got one from Napa etc pleease find me a part number. i dont have the cash to afford 400+ bucks

thanks again

 

Call Mojave Truck, Darn I think it might be called Desert Truck. It's right across the street from the CHP office on the old Hwy 58. If you can't get it for a reasonable price there than you won't get it for a reasonable price anywhere.. Ask for Patrick.

 

try a junk yard....just make sure the tps isnt the reason it got junked! lol
