Try removing the Edge Comp and see what happens. Determine if it is an Edge issue, or a truck issue. Any codes?

its not the edge. i disconnected it fully and it still did it i pull off the plastic cover off of the throttle cable assembly area and the top cable on the engine side is slack. no tension whats so ever. i traced it back to an assembly on the front underside of the driver side battery.

also there was i think a small vacuum hose that came off of the assembly at the front underside of the drive battery that i broke messing around with trying to see what was happening. will the apps reset put tension back on the cable?

ok so there is only tension on that cable when cruise is on. what about the vacuum hose that i broke playing with it. what does that do?

also the pedal isnt sticking and seems to be working fine. so would the edge have messed up the volts going through the apps?

the edge will have no relation at all to the APPS

ok so when we removed the whole triangle shaped throttle assembly (the black box on top of the vp) to get the wires on the pump to tap it for the edge, could we have stretched a cable or messed up the apps? or is that a fairly tough system
