Traction control?

[RonnieT]

2000 GMC 3 door 4X4  5.3 auto.  Was thinking about  changing the TPS and book wants to know if it has Traction Control? how do I know? the TPS has 3 wires in it and the connection is round if that helps any? Ron

If you have a traction control button on the dash, then it has TC.

 

Most if not all cable throttle body trucks have no traction control. You can always match the parts at a parts store or get the part number off the current TPS to get the correct part.

Have you ever noticed this light in your dash cluster when you start the truck?

No , nothing like that on the dash,  I just wondered if it had anything to do with the towing button on the end of the gear shift lever?

No numbers on the TPS just 3 wires and a round connection.

I am having  hesitation problems with taking off from a standing start. and it has something to do with the Throttle as I let off with my foot it picks up, if I put my foot down on the accelerator it is hesitant for sometimes almost 2 blocks of it before it runs correctly.

Changed out 3 new fuel pumps and filters, I have had a Fuel pressure gauge on the windshield for 2 months so I can monitor it. It usually runs about 50PSI+  sometime 45PSI (with all 3 pumps, 2 new Delphi and one new Carter) it is NOT the Fuel Pressure because Its does it at 50psi and hardly ever at 45PSI. I am thinking it is the TPS or a bad ground? 

 As my foot has to move very little to make it run better, nothing else moves just my toe pre se. No codes either.

No the tow button just moves the shift points around, basically like sport mode in cars.

 

Have you checked the fuel pressure regulator?

I unhooked the vacuum  while I had the gouge on it and  running and it went up a couple pounds, put it back on an it lowered it to what it normally runs.

   Mind now this doesn't stall every time, it just takes a spell when it does, usually after a  trip up town and kill it and get back in to start and go on another errand and then it will happen, but not every start up only  when it feels like it. if you soft peddle the accelerator  it will usually come around in about a block of travel before the trans makes its first shift.

 after that is fine. the only think I am moving is a slight movement of the accelerator. back and forth. PSI on gauge never changes during this hesitation.
