Hi, I may of figured out problem of random miss, but need further info from you. I changed throttle position sensor in foot pedal about 2 years ago, Random miss has been around since then. I was recently told by justanwswer, that throttle sensor needs to be calibrated when changed... is this true? I explained the idle with cruise on, is much worse than using just the pedal. He stated that ecm uses different parameters for cruise and foot, and the ecm must be recalibrated using Insite, after changing sensors. Does this sound right? I don’t need to be wasting money on chasing ghosts. Thanks for your input.

P.S. I changed timing/metering actuators, fuel shut-off solonoid, checked for air in fuel, fuel pressure, and water in fuel. Injectors are all newer, and overhead just done. The miss does seem to be electronic in nature.

What engine is this? Also check your idle speed. Pedal calibration is needed on some engines, but generally older or industrial. The calibration procedure is just key on and make a full pedal application and return. There is also a code the engine will set if it is detecting a pedal calibration issue for some engines.
Rideandrepair and CraigInReston Thank this. -

You are chasing a ghost here with the pedal vs cruise. You have a mechanical or fuel issue with your engine. The reason it seems better with cruise on is that the electronics are faster at adjusting fueling to keep a certain rpm, vs your input on the pedal which is asking a certain throttle percentage. Two different requirements for power demand.
