ColinT Donating Members 372 Member For: 20y 3m 6d Posted 11/04/06 07:54 AM Share Posted 11/04/06 07:54 AM Just had the TPS replaced for the second time since Christmas.Dealer said we don't get many of these go faulty. Yours in Very, Very, rare that a second one faults. This time they snapped the bolts in the throttle body that hold it on. I had to be driven home then picked up to collect the car after the fix.Anyone else had this fault. I can't wait until I'm out of warranty and have to pay for to have this fixewd each time.

Posted 11/04/06 11:52 AM Share Posted 11/04/06 11:52 AM RARE!??!I have had 6 since I had the car, they go well for a few weeks then it all starts again. I think I might need the throttle pedal one changed next, just had the revised TPS installed last monday, and this morning on startup, you guessed it, as soon as reverse was engaged it idled like a drunken donkey and stalled.

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

As everyone is not having the problem, the chances of having 6 go is no coincidence. Gone are days of real diagnostic mechanics, replaced by "the computer says to replace this bit" by a Factory Trained Technician apprentice Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/24653-throttle-postion-sensor/#findComment-369463 Share on other sites More sharing options...
