2002 Ford Ranger Edge 3.0L 75k
Ok so another issue has risen with this truck.
About a week ago I was driving to work and when pulling on to the off ramp I started applying the brake for the yield sign ahead and noticed that the truck was fighting me to slow down. The Rpms stayed at a hair just above 2k but the speed was dropping just not the rpms and with a car rear end quickly approaching the front, I panicked and slammed the brakes. I felt a sharp jerk in the truck and everything returned to normal and the crisis was averted. My mechanic just recently replaced a bad MAF sensor and I replaced a cruddy IAC a couple days later. I DID NOT perform an idle relearn procedure....so im wondering if that may have something to do with the throttle issue? It is not constant in the sense that it does it every time I drive it,but it is becoming more common up to this point.
I did look over the throttle cable and did not see anything gunked up or restricting the cable. TPS maybe? I also replaced this about five months or so ago when the original failed. I replaced it with autozone duralast brand.
