Anyone ever have EGR or TPS problems..

[Scootro]

What a pain trying find out if this is my problem on my 94’ lightning.. How do you diagnose these as the culprit of my problem???? What are the symptoms??????

My truck just off idle, in gear. It just stumbles, does a slight surge and dies. This happens at startup or sometimes driving home from work at low RPM‘s. Sometimes the lightning starts right up after it dies other times I have to wait a few minutes before attempting to start it again.


Any ideas??? Should I just take it into the ford dealership and have them look at it$$$$$ I’ve never experienced this problem before so lesson learn, I guess….

My ideas of the problem is
EGR
TPS SENSOR
ignition module

Short answer to your question----Does a bear SHlT in the woods?? Lots of folks have lots of problems that are caused by these two components. Keep on posting, alot of folks on here know their stuff (eg jrichker)

Pull the codes, then go through JRs surging idle checklist.

If you get codes post them and folks will help from there.
