I was in the drive thru today at Taco Bell. It was my turn to pull up to the window, and when I tapped the throttle the truck began revving and letting off. It did this about 6 times. It was actually kind of funny because everyone was looking at me like, "WTF is this clown doing." So, I was able to stop since it was only slightly surging, (about 1,000 rpm) and put the truck in neutral. I then put it back in drive and it was fine. Didn't do it again all day. It was like the truck was copying the way I tapped the throttle. I'm curious as to what this was all about. The truck has 10,000 miles on it, and everything in my signature. Thanks in advance.

Sounds more drastic then a stickin regulator. I have noticed mine does what you describe, usually at un-opportune times.. I dunno what causes it, suspect it may be a glitch in the APP sensor.. hard to say, but I do know what your gettin

Yeah, it was really wierd. Had it happened a few seconds earlier, I might have caught me off guard and I could have hit the lady in front of me. Well, I'll cross my fingers.
