this has happened to mine a few times and i never found out what it was. ill be driving with no problems and then my throttle response will just die but it will idle fine.

Now when the truck starts coughing the oil pressure low flashes across the DIC. Then it goes back to normal. Could this be the oil pressure sensor causing all this?

maybe you have a little injector harness rub going on? seems on my buddies '05 it would idle just fine but when i went to hit the gas nothing. oil pressure was low too because i remembered going out and making sure it had oil. unfortanetly i dont remember what codes it threw when it happened. that code you got is so vague because there are a few 5v things it could be???

The computer i hooked it to said the p0642 would trip if the oil or fuel pressure sensors were bad or the egr, but i don't have the egr on anymore. And since it's flashing low oil pressure when it cuts out i'm changing that sensor.

Ever figure this out? I'm having throttle issues. Already changed out the tps and it seems worse. Gonna check a few things tomorrow.
