    Dont just change tps. change the whole pedal assembly. Yes the assembly cost 1000 bucks through peterbilt. You can buy the whole pedal assemby for 200 on ebay. IT IIS SAME THROTTLE PEDAL PART NUMBER FOR ALL CAT MOTORS on 379. They all work the same and do not need programming. Plug and play.

    Parts lady is wrong, its not even a CAT supplied part. Williams Controls supplies the original sensor for Paccar. Comes with the 2 mounting screws and a wiring pigtail.

    Have you pulled and checked the fuel bypass valve? I had the same issue, mechanic said it was a throttle position sensor, or bypass valve. Luckily mine was the valve, $35 vs $200 for a sensor. Valve had a piece of the teflon oring broke.

    Ok long shot, but last time I had my truck in the shop mechanic didn’t plug boost sensor in real good. It would make contact then it wouldn’t, would kill my foot pedal.
