A week ago my truck started giving me fits. When I accelerate from a stop, my truck moves like a turtle, yet my RMS are between 2000-2500. Today my Check engine light came on so I took it to my mechanic. I had a diagnostic evaluation done, the throttle body serviced, fuel injection serviced, and replaced TPS. The truck seems to run a little better but not much. Help please.

Well, when I took it to Autozone, they gave me the print out and it was P0065, 68, or 69. I dont really remember. I know it listed 3 items of possible cause.
1 had something to do with vaccuum.
2 dont remeber.
3 had somehthing to do with transmission
The mechanic said we will run a diagnostic, and then they did everything I listed in my post.
I feel like I am driving uphill, towing a boat in overdrive. Really loud because of the RPM, but just no gitty-up!

Did they perhaps say vaccum modulator? And I really would like that code it will make it so much quicker to diagnose and cheaper for you in the end
