Pull codes at www.fordfuelinjection.com .............Test the TPS voltage. Search here for a thread fatherdoug started about his issues and there's a link to a writeup on testing a TPS.

EDIT: Here's the link: http://www.f150online.com/forums/li...ur-tps-voltage-single-bore-throttle-body.html

Also, could be a dirty IAC, that's why I said pull codes.
