Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Engine Stumble

[Rob Levandoski]

Driving to work this morning and the engine choked and died at a terrible idle. Recently, I've also been getting the dreaded "let's search for a gear" while driving. I've read some posts about the TPS (Throttle position sensor) as well as lift pump issues. Truck is coming up on 70k and I'm wondering which one (or both) should I be considering.



Dropped off truck at my local 5-star stealer and not sure what to expect. I'd be surprised if they're able to find anything, but anyone have any suggestions on what your . 02 before calling them.



Thanks.
