Someone please help or ill post a burning dodge video
ok, so I have a 2001 Dodge 2500 6 speed, I have been having "dead peddle" issues for quite some time now and it is really getting annoying. I have replaced the vp44,apps,map sensor,fuel filter,fuel lines, lift pump and I am still getting the dreaded dead peddle. when im driving down the road it will be fine for a few miles then I loose power and only have about 1/4 peddle, if i turn off the ignition and back on I get full peddle again and full power.

1693 is companion code IIRC... (too lazy to search right now )
sounds like you got a bad vp44.
APPS dead pedal won't give you a 1/4 pedal...it will just be dead till you push on and off 3 times and then it will come back till it gets a bad reading again and it goes dead again to prevent runaway from a false reading.
apps will never limit to 1/4 pedal and just keep working...that is without a doubt a vp44 electronic issue.
If you replaced it recently, I hope you didn't wire tap it and F yourself out of the warranty...
always a good idea to run a new vp44 untapped for a couple months to be sure it is a good pump before you tap it.

That's what I was thinking too was the vp44 I bought it from advance metal products in Utah az so it's not like I can just get a new one over night, they want me to send this one back and them check it out then either send me a new one or send this one back. So this is going to leave me truckled for god knows how long
