I have a 2002 F250 with the 7.3 in it, and it starts fine, runs good and will go into gear and move, but there is no throttle response. its like the pedal is not hooked up.... what should i look for to remedy the problem? thank you

Confirmed that RT and the pdf linked above are totally correct— Thanks RT!

I would recommend checking this issue no matter what before you replace your TPS sensor/ pedal assembly.
The wire on my 02 7.3 was abraded all over the place especially at the plastic hold down clip. I just taped the wire, rerouted it so it can move with rhe shifter and not snag anything—and done. Problem gone.

Wish i knew about this before I got 2 TPS replacements
