My 03 Ram with Hemi has the electric bolt light comes on when accelerating and I lose power. I let off the gas pedal and all power returns. Very intermittent. Any suggestions on what to look at?
What is your question?
this occurred for for a while when finally the truck just wouldn't start one day. I replaced the throttle body, still was not able to start. Towed it to a dealership. They replaced the main computer and said it looked like rabbits had chewed up some wires causing a short. They said they repaired the wires. So if not the main computer or throttle body, what else would cause these only when accelerating?

Good morning, first off it can be a couple things with your throttle pedal or throttle body. Need to pull the codes to see which location it's at but most of the time it's in. The throttle body assembly
Intermittent faults/failures are very difficult to find! .. Trouble code(s) may or may not be present, really need a professional grade scanner so live data of the APPS & TPS correlation can be observed while problem is actually occurring.. Visual inspection of wiring and connections at the accelerator pedal position sensor and T-Body position sensor is about all one can do at this point.. Good luck with it!
