Hey guys, weve got a 2001 Excursion 7.3L 4wd, and some times ill be driving it and the motor will just drop down to an idle and stay there for a few seconds, or until i shift it in to neutral. I have heard that this could be a problem with the sensor on the gas pedal? has anyone else had this problem before?

The SES light comes on but not all the time. And the truck will drop to idle like I said every so often it just kinda does it there's not really a pattern to it

It's even scarier when my stepdads custom 1957 Chevy bel air is on the trailer behind it.... So you said they did a recall on these?
