I wasn't able to get my hands on an OBD I scanner, but I did find a test involving a paper clip and a list of codes on this forum. Based on the flashes I got it is the TPS sensor. I will be ordering that and getting it swapped. Thank you for your help!

Well, I replaced the TPS and it ran well for a week or two. Going to work today, taking off from red lights and stop signs it started acting up again. Any other thoughts or ideas to try?

I know it sounds elementery, but give your connections a check, see if they are working their way loose. Remember, they are as old as the truck, so they may be a bit of a pain.

It's a place to start. I thought I had a good click when I put it back together, but with my luck it did work it's way loose.

So the plug is together, but has a little play. I pressed it together as tight as I could get it. Seemed to run fine right after starting while everything was cold, once it warmed up to operating temp though it started acting up again. Could it be a MAP sensor? All the vacuum lines look to be in decent shape, but the sensor itself seems to be pretty bouncy on it's mount.

Yeah the OBD I scanners came with so many adapters. I have an OBD I kit myself, and I'm not even an ASE tech!! :)

Working on a Husky 125B leaf blower now. It's getting spark, but I don't enough under pressure. Might have to get a new coil for $32 bucks!!!! Ouch!!
