longy89 Donating Members 38 Member For: 14y 8m 24d Posted 19/05/10 12:42 AM Share Posted 19/05/10 12:42 AM Ok guys, I replaced my TPS with the revised one ($190 genuine), and everything went okay for about 2 days. Now, on start up the car idles at 1250 instead of 750, and when I change gears (6sp man) the revs spike. When I put the clutch in to pull up at the lights, the throttle light comes on and she starts coughing, so I restart. After this restart, she drives perfectly until I need to turn off again when I get to work or whatever. So on start up it buggers up, then after a restart its fine. Really annoying! I'm thinking either when I washed it I got water somehwere it shouldn't be, I need to clean the TB, or the air/fuel mix isnt right after putting the PW Stage 3 cooler on (mind you I got a tune after). Any help would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nang3 12" member Donating Members 2,107 Member For: 19y 6m 5d Location: Perth WA Posted 19/05/10 01:08 AM Share Posted 19/05/10 01:08 AM ^^^ mine was doing this - idling at 1250, revs spiking when changing gears etc.. its booked to go in today to get the TPS replaced under TSB 97R/04 which hopefully will fix the issues... it runs fine sitting at the lights except sitting on 1250rpm but had coughed and cut out twice so far.. runs perfect after a restart as well..havent washed under the bonnet or anything, stock car stock tune so hopefully the TSB TPS replacement will sort it..seeing as the TB needs to be removed to install the TPS, is it safe to assume the 'trained mechanics' at Ford will clean it while its off seeing as its a known possible cause of this issue, or do I need to explicitly tell them .. whats the bet they try and charge for it as well haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (POTENTIOMETER) REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE1. Ensure engine is warm to allow easier removal of TPS fasteners.2. Remove throttle body from vehicle as specified in workshop manual Chapter 303-01a for I6, 303-01b for 3V V8 or 303-01c for 4V V8." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
