Pug Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Got called in on this one after a diagnostic showed a faulty TPS, which was replaced but the problem persists. Essentially, it's revving on after the clutch is depressed. Can't take it back to the original mechanic, as I think it's an ex-boyfriend or something similar. From what I read, this is a known issue and there is a newer uprated connector available. Question is, where do I get one from? Did Ford actually do a recall on this, meaning I can get it for free or is it a dealer part I need to request? Thanks in advance for any help I can get. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pug Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 Anyone? Any other suggestions on curing this? Read somewhere else about disconnecting the battery for the ECU to reset its values for the TPS to zero... Actually, I think it may be a 1.25 engine, not a 1.3, fwiw. I have a multimeter here. Can anyone confirm what values I should be looking for to test? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pug Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 Thanks but I fixed it in the end (meant to come back and post progress but forgot, sorry). Disconnecting the battery for a while cured it. Easiest fix I've had in a while. :) [Edit] Can a mod add {Solved} to the topic title for me? I don't seem to have edit privileges on it. Ta.
