rough running truck

**cowboyupamrka** · #1 (**permalink**) 03-25-2008, 11:10 PM

i havent found much on this, but i have noticed more and more lately my truck is running really rough.

i was standing outside by the exhaust with it running and it sounded like someone was in the truck playing with the go pedal. but no one was in the truck.

Also on accelerating i will be moving along and all the sudden it will pick up in rpms and speed like i floored it but i havent applied anymore power to the pedal.

Any ideas???

Possibly your CPS (Cam Position Sensor). This is a recently recalled item from Ford and they will replace it for free.

Did ya scan for codes? Maybe your Tps is going bad

or is it like its surging?

i was thinking more along the lines of TPS but wanted to see if anyone else thought this or had experience with it and knew what it was. it is not a constant thing it does it now and again on the road while accelerating. and then when just sitting and idling.

Get it scanned first before anything so you don't throw parts at it you don't need
