Dead pedal I think

  Well I think my apps finally started acting up on my 2000 CTD.  We’re on our way to McCall Idaho for vacation, were a little south of Council and slowing for construction I accelerate just a little, about 25-30 MPH,  to get through the construction and the throttle does nothing then picks up and acts normal.  Of course the check engine light comes on and stays on.  It acts up one more time while slow acceleration going through McCall.  Get to the RV park and after the second start up the light goes out so it probably won’t have a code.  Will have to get a code reader at NAPA tomorrow.  I’ve got a new APPS with me, just hope the RV Park lets me work on it.  I’m sure that’s what the problem is.

  It’s ironic that last year a friend was having problems with his 2001 Dodge up here.

Does it matter a particular brand on the APPS, I’ve been wrestling with the dead peddle. I’m trying the best I can to believe my vp is not the problem. 

 

It is best to have the more reliable Timbo APPS. At less than half the cost, a fellow Cummins enthusiast developed it and is smoother and more consistent. He opened the factory APPS and showed pics of what cost 500 bucks :lol3: at the dealer. It is cheaply built to say the least.

I had Timbo with me in my spare parts box.  I almost changed it out before I left the house.  Ordered another one while here at the RV park so it should be waiting for me when I get home.

Crud, I'm just spitting distance from you. Just north of McCall towards Riggins, ID.

 

  I thought you were somewhere around there.  Do you have a repair shop or just work out of your house.  

  The reason I had spare was because of you and this forum so I thank you for this.

  Get the Timbo.  Less money and a better APPS.  Since installing this one I’ve noticed smoother acceleration.
