Default a little help

i have been having trouble with my truck. sometimes when i am driving it bogs down and wont want to pick up speed. when it happens i can push the pedal all the way to the floor but it wont go any faster, but if i push in the clutch and rev it up then it will go fine. or i can also turn the key off and then back on and it will go then. i am not getting any codes or anything, so i am at a loss. any input would be appreciated.

Could be bad fuel, the VP44, or the APPS.

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor, in other words the gas pedal. If it's out of adjustment, it'll cause issues on how the engine runs.

yep sounds like classic dead pedal to me, however the sensor that bluechip is selling is the one that Timbo developed, you can get it direct from Timbo too. either way go with the Timbo apps, not the dodge unit, timbo's is cheaper and lasts longer, no downside at all if you know how to do any mechanical work at all.
