   Maybe a dirty or malfunctioning MAF sensor could cause that. That   
   might fool the ECU into thinking the throttle's almost closed. Just a   
   guess.   
      
   BTW, an easier way to reset your CE light is to turn the ignition off   
   and back on again 5 times while the truck is in motion and without   
   disengaging the clutch in the process. It's easily done at any speed   
   above 30 mph in the proper gear if you plan ahead so there's no other   
   traffic to hinder while you're foolin' with your ignition. This works   
   only if the problem which threw the code in the first place has been   
   corrected.   
      
      
      
      
   A far easier way to reset the light is to use the Scan Tool. The OP is   
   already going to Autozone to get his codes pulled (that sounds dirty when   
   Bill Clinton does it), he should simply use the scan tool to reset the   
   computer.
