Default deal pedal? maybe

Ok so my truck in my Sig seems like it might have a deal pedal sometimes like going down the road you just give it a little throttle and it dosent respond very quickly and you can try over and over and sometimes it will all the sudden be fine again. So I adjusted the apps after searching on here and finding the procedure well it started off at .514 and the spec is .577 so I got it at .576 took it for a couple mile drive and it did it the whole time so it might even be worse.. just had the vp44 replaced also but it did this before that also. And there are no codes in it I hooked up my scantool to double check that after my drive. O and something else is that I checked voltage after the drive and it was still .576. And im checking it at the pcm? The box on the pass firewall on the Orange wire with blue trace which would be the connecter closest to the engine. Sorry for the long post I'm just about to pull my hair out here...

So I reset my apps by unhooking the batteries and I even did it over night just because and I did the whole slow press and depress and then started it and took it for an 8 mile drive and the first half mile it still acted up but after that it was fine. So I hope it stays fine. And rollingcoal everyone says if it is the apps it will.set a code which it is not. Is that true?

Well I'm driving it again and its messed up still Idk what to to thought about the timbo apps but I wish I knew for sure what my problem wa. I'm about 30 miles into a 120 mile trip and its just so doggy its like the throttle response isn't there its gotta be the apps right?

So I just got home and it was bad all the way up. Did a few things where it got shut off a few times started it and on the way home it was fine.. I wish this thing would stop toying with me. But I made a few observations when it is messing up you and you step on it but not enough to down shift the tach will move very slowly which corresponds with the motor cause its not putting out the power that it should its like your really only moving the throttle a tiny bit but really its more than that. And when its running fine and you step on it but once again not enough for a downshift the rpm will jump right up 300 to 500 rpm which is normal and you can tell all the power is there.

Drove it some more today and all was well still. Could this be a problem with boost or something along those lines it just gets to me not knowing what is going on here.

I've been fightin' the dead pedal and did a few test.

Logging APPS% while accelerating through 4th, 5th, and into 6th gear. You can see where it craps.

Sitting in driveway with motor off. 0 to floor back and forth. Not good either. It should go 0 to 100% each time.
