Was struggling to get it up to cruising speed, kickdown wasnt working and it just seemed to be struggling

Adjusted the throttle position sensor and the idle throw on the cable and it’s like a racing car now! Obi audibly gasped when I booted it

Awesome. I’ve been having an issue with my 95 F-150, cold engine struggles to accelerate past about 800-1000 RPM. It hangs and starts knocking if you give it any gas. I’ve had to let it drive at basically idle till it gets warmed up. Wondering if it’s a fuel pump issue.

Anyway, I know this isn’t an auto repair forum but always appreciate fresh ideas on where to troubleshoot.

That is genuinely one of my favourite movies of all time. A coked up steven king, directing his own movie AND cameo in it.. its bloody brilliant that film. It was actually one of the driving forces behind getting the mule in the first place. I was very young when I first watched it, the first half actually scared the bejeezus out of me. Then the part with the mule and the Cat D8 happened and it was so bloody silly, I laughed and enjoyed the whole rest of the film. I love that movie (except the part with the kid and the roller, that…sucks :rofl:)

Awesome soundtrack as well.
