Napalm Member 25 Member For: 20y 3m 8d Posted 22/05/06 12:00 PM Share Posted 22/05/06 12:00 PM Hey guys,Am off to the Ford dealer tomorrow to have the TPS looked at. I have had the idle stalling issue for 8 months on and off. I have had the intake and throttle body cleaned several times which seems to fix the problem for a few weeks before it starts again. I have a unichip as part of a stage 1 upgrade. Every time I return to Ford they tell me the problem is the chip and that I should go back to Autotech. I am sure it is the TPS and want it changed. One question, I understand that the unichip only overides the factory settings. It does not change them. Therefore if the chip was disconnected, the engine should return to normal standard settings? If this is the case (1) can I just unplug the unichip? and (2) the unichip shouldn't effect the TPS at all. Is this correct? Any guidence would be appreciated.

Get rid of the bloody thing and grab yourself an edit. You will be glad you did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
