I see that code says intake air temperature sensor intermittent nothing to do with the throttle position sensor.Do you have a scan tool that can read live data like intake air temp sensor?

I am sorry looked up the wrong code looked up code P1115 by mistake.Do you have a scan tool you can read the throttle position sensor on and mass air flow sensor on?Since that code is for tps inconsistent with Maf sensor.

Also have you tried cleaning the mass air flow sensor with mass air flow sensor cleaner to see if it runs any different?

So the starter is inop you have a no crank no start?Does the starter make any noise when trying to start it?Also you can watch the tps reading with the key in the run position while moving the gas pedal and watching your scan tool.

Anything is possible do you have a k and n air filter ontthat? Before you remove the starter see if you have power to the small trigger wire on the starter with the key in the start position?

No , just when it's cold. Then it seems as soon as the engine warms up runs perfect.

motorcraft dy-1144 I do believe this one they sent me was for a 3.0 instead of a 2.5 because the original was shaped like a cone and the new one was shaped like the firing end of a 22 bullet

The pic you just posted is for the dy1144 so maybe the one you got was miss boxed if its different.

Sounds like its running better if the power loss I gone.Have you checked the throttle body for being all carboned up and also inspected idle air control valve being carbone up/sticking/failing.

Not Yet but i will this week. With the iac valve being 7 months old and the truck running poorly for a few weeks, would it be possible for it to carbon up that quickly?

Ok finally put a new iac valve on it and ect sensor. Runs well and doesn't stall at lights or stop signs. drove it 3 miles and shut it off for 10 minutes to run and errand and started it back up and ran fine for 15 seconds before stalling again.
Started easy and ran fine. what's causing the stall in park after it cools down for
a bit?
Thanks
