Hi all Thanks again for the interest in my problem... To summarise what has been done to the car in order to fix this problem... Throttle Position sensor has been changed on both ends the engine side and the pedal. The computer has been changed as well All fuel settings have been reset Twice I have had the car at different dealerships where they have kept it for several days and hooked it up to the error / fault code reader, unfortunatley it won't do it when it is with them. They tell me they can see a fault code in the black box that indicates a throttle problem but there is no other codes that lead them to the cause. Once I turn the car off and restart the problem is fixed. Unfortunatley that is when I loose the codes out of the black box. Cheers Birdman

Thanks for the interest in my problem According to the Manual it is called Throttle (acceleration system) fault indicator. There is a little engine symbol that appears on the dash. At this point the engine shuts down and according to ford goes into a Guard Mode. I have no power at this point, (not much fun as you turn into oncomming traffic). It feels like the engine is running on two cylinders. To correct the problem, I turn the engine off and can restart immediatley and a way I go. As per my post I am at a loss to understand what the problem is and I don't thing the ford dealer has any ideas at this point. Any ideas welcome. Birdman

I have a BA MKII 2005 XR6 T 240kw not modified. Since june of this year I have encountered a Throttle Interruption problem that occurrs without warning and with no common reason. Cold running, after 1hr of normal running, on a freeway, in the back streets. The only one aspect I can think as being common is excellerating but not hard excelleration. Ford have replace the Throttle Position sensor on both sides Pedal and engine and as of last week replaced the engine management unit. All under warranty thank goodness!!! It is still doing it. My local dealer has now run out of ideas. They can see the error codes in the "Black Box" but can't isolate the cause. Has anyone else had this problem and are able to share the solution. I have also had a new gear box Auto as well in Jan of 08. You might think I have a lemon but I still love the car. Luckily all of this work has been under warranty. Any advice welcome Birdman
