Hi,

In an attempt to find the problem of sort of kangarooing when cold in 1st gear. And constant lower power than before. I want to know where the throttle position sensor cable is on a mk1.5 Focus, I think I know where the cable is, just need to make sure and also need to know if it's safe to disconnect while running.
