2001 N14 9100. Intermittent dead throttle.

Truck runs great, but has an occasional dead throttle pedal, typically when going highway speeds, but will do it at any speed. I will loose all throttle response and the only way to gain it back is to take it out of gear and let engine go to idle. Then immediately I have total throttle control again. Does this probably every 5-10 miles. Already replaced total throttle peddle assembly. And the camshaft position sensor.

 

I will try it out. Thank you

 

Alright so finally a little update. After chasing/wiggling all throttle wires I can find to no avail. I can’t ever get it to act up on idle alone. (All the wires and connections look fine too)
I noticed while driving the truck if I turn the cruise control on and off I can get dead throttle act up more consistently. While I am driving if I loose throttle control I can flip the cruise control switch and gain control back again. Any thoughts on this? I ended up taking the truck to a mechanic. And they suggested doing a total rewire on the pedal assembly . I’m just nervous this could be something else since I can get it to act up with the cruise control.

 

Thanks I really appreciate your input! At this point I’ll probably just give the mechanic the go ahead to rewire everything then. Really my only concern is that it won’t be the wiring and it’ll just be something simple like a sensor. But since I can’t find anything myself I’ll let my mechanic rewire it. I’ll let everyone know the outcome. Thanks!!

 

Finally salved!! I ended up doing a test run with my mechanic and got the throttle problem to act up a few times and he recommended having my ECM tested. So I sent it in to a lil shop I found in Colorado that repairs n14 ECMs. And sure enough they found an issue with it. They “flashed and recalibrated my ECM” For $200. Got it back and put it on my truck this morning and my problem is totally gone!

 

I really appreciate everyone’s input in this
