Intermittent Acceleration Problem

[NF-2000]

Hi,

I have a 2000 Frontier 4cyl 2wd manual transmission.

Lately there has been an intermittent acceleration problem that only occurs from a stopped position.

I start letting out the clutch and depress the gas pedal and there isn't any response, (no increase in RPMS or speed). When this happens I must immediately depress the clutch or the truck stalls. This problem is intermittent and cannot be replicated on demand. Further, this doesn't seem to occur at driving speeds.

I checked the pedal and throttle cable / leakage and both appeared to be functioning normally.

Any ideas on the cause?


Thanks.

Makes me wonder if the Throttle Position Sensor is not reading correctly.
