Wow, it took me 5mins to replace the TPS, just have to make sure it's warm so the screws come out and go in with ease. Shonky Ford lol. I'm going to get some Nulon carby cleaner to do the TB. It's easy to pull mine off for cleaning because I have the throttle body relo kit which puts it near the washer bottle. So I'll try the batt disconnect and acc pedal method, clean the TB, and might have a go at WD-40ing the boost solonoid while I'm going.

Earth -, leave it for say 10 Min. Reconnect Battery. Turn on Ignition but do not start. Push down Acc to the floor and count to 15. Take your foot off the pedal turn ignition off... start engine and see how you go. The above will reset the Acc system.Its a common misconception that the procedure you have described resets the TPS and ETC, it actually resets the Cam phasers. The ETC does a self test and calibration each time you turn the key on. It opens and closes the throttle and records the output of the tps as its working range. The tps is actually 2 sensors in one. one goes 0 to 4.8 (ish)V +ve and the other goes 4.8 to 0+ve. The ecu looks for both when it self tests/calibrates. Idle speed goes high when the tps is faulty as a response by the VCM to prevent the vehicle stalling. Idle air is increased to a preset value to maintain engine idle.Annoying but not harmfulLuke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yer I don't mind the higher idle, but I get sick of the revs spiking with every change and the stalling when it overrevs at a stop. Especially when I replaced the original BA TPS with the revised Motorcraft one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by your symptoms i would looking for an air leak aft the MAP sensor, have you fitted an after market plenum?Do you have access to a scanner? I would be surprised if it isn't throwing codes with the conditions you describe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longy89 Donating Members 38 Member For: 14y 8m 24d Posted 21/05/10 01:01 AM Share Posted 21/05/10 01:01 AM Oh rito. No don't have an aftermarket plenum. Well Jamie at Forced Performance has run a scan, and when it starts playing up the throttle light comes on and I connect the flash tuner2 and it doesn't give me a code. It's kind of dangerous too, because sometimes it doesn't drop revs with no throttle, but rather keeps increasing them by itself like its on autopilot. It's just strange that on restart it runs perfect again. Real embarassing when you rock up next to a HSV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should bring your car over and i'l chuck my scanner on it and see what upedit: Ross do you have a K&N air filter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
