Jack and his cousin installed a new throttle position sensor and IAC last night, and the truck runs great. The bad TPS must have been screwing with the transmission, because it works fine now too. There is an oil leak at the front of the engine (bad intake gasket), but Jack has decided to sell the truck as-is once he replaces the two bad tires. He figures he can flip it for a little bit of profit, and find something else to tinker with. He has inquired about a 1986 Bronco II 4x4 that popped up locally for about the same price he should get for the F250. A 4x4 should fit his needs better. So the F250 will be hitting Craigslist in the next few days.
