while driving, my accelerator pedal suddenly loses control of throttle. clutch in, key off, key back on, restarts easily---accelerator pedal regains control of throttle. could this be problem with pump or throttle sensor? (2000 cummings 3500, 4wd, 5 spd manual. Tanks

 

Sounds like dead pedal. Sometimes means that your VP44 is going south.

 

might need to reset your APPS too, i think that has solved a few problems with the dead pedal

 

I had the same thing happen to me a few months ago. Try resetting the APPS, that fixed it for me.

 

and it's a cummins not a cummings..

 

 

If it turns out your APPS is bad, give AOL.com - Welcome to AOL a try. He is making up some replacements and they have had very good reviews on TDR & DTR. Plus they are way cheaper than dealer replacements.

Whitmore, where are you in Wyoming? I think I might've broken down in your neck of the woods this week. I was moving from Seattle to South Carolina cuz that's where I'm gettin stationed. Long story short, I lost my #5 injector line.
