Good idea to recalibrate the TPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubute Member 172 Member For: 19y 6d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 19/03/09 12:43 AM Share Posted 19/03/09 12:43 AM Yeah I've had the same issue lately, probably about 50% of the times that I start it. It's BA MkII mid 05. Stupid question but what is involved with recalibrating the new TPS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Press the loud-pedal to the floor and turn the ignition on. The car won't (shouldn't) start. That will reset the old girl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubute Member 172 Member For: 19y 6d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 19/03/09 02:29 AM Share Posted 19/03/09 02:29 AM Yeah I've tried that in the past, holding it flat for about 10 seconds. Also have heard to turn the key to ON, hold the pedal flat for a few seconds then let go, then start the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also have heard to turn the key to ON, hold the pedal flat for a few seconds then let go, then start the car.Problems after re-calibration will indicate a failing TPS, the contacts wear out or readings fluctuate between a cold and hot engine bay. Just my own opinion here, but 9 out of 10 times, re-calibration of a old TPS will never fix the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The foot flat to the floor and turn the key does not recalibrate anything at all.This technique only fixes a flooded engine condition.Foot flat to the floor and turn the key DISABLES FUEL INJECTORS! that's all this does. Nothing to do with TPS. This is direct from the ford manual.Hope this helps people in the future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
