Throttle Position Sensor! I have a 2002 dodge ram 1500 with a 4.7 liter v8 and it did the exact same thing. After asking a few mechanics and doing research on the internet I decided to replace this sensor myself and save $20 - $30. I'm not a mechanic, just an 18 year old. Yet I didn't need help because this is very simple. It's right next to the throttle body and you just need to remove two screws and detach a clip... no big deal ajnd it feels good to fix it on your own.

there is a map sensor on the drivers side of the throttle body. you disconnect one clip and take a 2 screws. that sensor could be dirty and need to be wiped down

I have the same problem with my 02 4.7 jeep i think its either the throttle postion sensor or the Idle air control valve, it could also be a small vacuum leak that you cannot hear yet but idk

I'll explain to you how this works, because it really wouldn't be disgraceful to get by that truck as it was set up (the truck, not the F650 being pulled- it wasn't fake).

First off, the thing had Rockwells- VERY strong axles with, typically, a very low gearing. This truck also had slicks on that were running low pressure. Not only that, but the truck was lifted, setting the tow point higher. You should know why that's significant. If you don't, just post again and continue to be a tool.
