Have you ever changed the injection pump tps switch? They recommend replacing them around 75,000 miles. They do wear out causing what you posted. There is a certain way they are installed on the drivers side of the injection pump. then set them with a digital voltmeter to 1.2 volts idle setting key on but engine off. Wram up the engine before setting. Normal setting is .96 for a soft shift and up to 1.2 for a firmer shift. The center wire in the plug is the test line and its green in color. I just use the point of my meter probe and push it in thru the wire coating. Some use a paper clip in the plug and a alligator clamp to pick up a test.
