fixorrepairdaily Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Its very typical that i'm skint right not and only a few days before X-mas and i get a eac fail. Where do i go now and what do i do. I can't even afford for the local garage to test it. I tested it on a small hand held on but no codes came up. I feel like grabbing a shot gun and seeing the md of ford. Joking Can anyone run through a list of things I can check and do without it costing me and could someone help me find the throtle body sensor so i can check that to see if the elements have got in.

It happened to me when i first bought my car but disappeared and haven't shown since. yes flashed up where the mileage shows and the battery has not been out??? I seem to have no luck with cars and i really do try to look after them. I'm thinking maybe buying a push bike just so i can fix things my self.

Today i went out and looked over everything then thought i'd remove the air box to see if i could get to the throtle body sensor and on removing the airbox i noticed that there was a bunch of wires all leading to a plug at the top right hand side of the air box that was loose. the plug looked like a round piece of gray pipe that had a little hole in the top which was the locating hole. It seems really strange how a plug can just come apart and that if there was a car following close would of caused an accident.
