I bought my 04 R/C in November and then put it in storage with out driving it much. I have put about 200 miles on it since I got it out and it has a very rough idle. It seems to idle fairly high around 1000 when it is cold and then once it warms up it seems to fluctuate between 750 and 900 every once in a while. Is this normal for a completely stock truck or should I take it in since it is still under warranty?
 
I had put stabil in the fuel but luckily I got it all out tonight and filled it up so I will drive it tomorrow and see what it does.If it was a bad tps wouldn't give a code?
 
A TPS normally does not through a code on these trucks for an idle issue. it most certainly could be your issue.i was thinking bad fuel because you let it sit for a while
 
I'll give the fuel a shot tomorrow if it is still rough I wll take it in and see if they will replace the tps.
 
I had the same problem when I had my '04 and with help from this site, we narrowed it down to the TPS sensor. $35 and 10 mins later for a TPS swap, problem solved.
