oxygen sensor or tps sensor

see i was thinking that the Tps was bad or the Oxy sensor .. but both those sensors would trigger the checkengine light .. i hope its not gettin ready to take a shytt on me here . its got 80k + miles (hwy/ ny traffic miles

)
and had the engine replaced at 65k back in 01?for piston slap with a brand new engine not a rebuild 1..

some of the ford trucks we have at my work have a similar problem and the IAC (idle air control) valve was the culprit
