Need help!

So my throttle position sensor is trash I know that. It runs %100 better without it plugged in, but it takes a fully pressed gas pedal to make the truck move, the transmission fluid is good and not burnt, it doesn't want to move very fast, once it gets pasted the first hump and it fully engaged into drive, then it moves, I know these things are glutless. But it shouldn't take that long to move, iv had this thing for about 4 years and it's never been like this, it's been sitting for about a 1 1/2 now but started every week and moves about 50 feet a week to kept it going, it's not a street daily driver now, just a off-road toy.

But anyways, since I know my throttle body sensor isn't good anymore, and they cost a lot of money, I can get a whole throttle body with the sensor, and it is adjusted and ready to rock and roll for about $100 on eBay and the junk yard wants $40 for it, without any sensors or anything and there not cleaned up.

If anyone knows why my truck would hardly want to move, anything is helpfull, no transmission codes or CEL. Just don't want to buy a sensor for $100 at AutoZone and having to adjust everything myself it's a pain in the ass.

The TV cable is good and the throttle body cable I greased it and it seemed to help a little.


If you have a throttle with the sensor and it is adjust, I don't mind buying it from you, for less then $100

Transmission solenoids? Not allowing the torque converter to hook-up right away, mine does it.

I don't get it, you know you need a new TPS but don't want to spend the money for one?

That's what I was thinking? How log does it take til your truck finally starts moving?


And yea because it's $100 at autozone and a already adjusted throttle body and sensor is $100 on eBay. I was asking is it worth buying one already adjusted or just adjust it myself for $100? I hate those sensors. And all of the stop screws and everything needs to be adjusted right before it works the way it should.

I am not very good at adjusting it, iv tryied over and over and over again, all those little stop screw and the idle air screw, I can never get it just right and the truck doesn't like it, so I leave it in-plugged but I know those stop screws are out of adjustment, if I could send my throttle body somewhere and have them adjust everything the way it should, that'll be perfect but everyone iv asked they say no, because there a pain the ass and they don't want to adjust it or they don't know how to. Iv readed tons of different things on them, a very very detailed video would help me, reading things confusing me sometimes. But I can't find that video. Either, that's why I was asking if I should just buy a throttle body that's already adjusted and just bolt it on the truck or should I buy a new throttle body sensor and hope I can get all of them adjusted right and the truck will be happy once again.

I have a update, I found someone that will adjust everything for me. Hopefully the truck will run good again after it is done. I'll let you guys know
