This usually means they are unplugged. Check that the loom plug to the throttle body is firmly pushed home. Usually, if these codes are set the PCL light on the dash will be lit and the car would be in limp home mode. But if the codes are historically stored on the ECU. At sometime in the past there has been a throttle position sensor fault which has been fixed and the codes need to be cleared by an ECU reset. Locked the car up and walked away for 5 minutes and hey presto car fine Leaving work yesterday and the fault returned.. But before that.

All throttle bodies are electrically differenent. Parts or components should not be replaced with reference to only a P DTC.

However, an oxygen sensor is easy to replace on many cars and is usually detailed in the owner's manual. If you know where the sensor is, you only have to unclip the old sensor and replace it with a new one. Regardless of how you approach it, you should get this fixed right away. So you should chech it on our car models. Disconnected, dirty or fouled spark plugs are common causes for engines that won't start.

Advertiser Disclosure. Depending on your vehicle, your TPS lower output voltage limit should be around. With a TPS fault, the first step is to get it diagnosed to figure out what is causing the problem. Many, if not most, shops will apply this diagnosis fee to any required repairs if you have them perform the repairs for you. From there, a shop will be able to give you an accurate estimate for repairs to fix your P code.

For as serious as this code can be, the repairs are often relatively inexpensive and easy to make, even for a home mechanic. While you may need to replace the sensor, it may also only be a problem with the wiring around it. The throttle position sensor TPS monitors the movement of your throttle. When the throttle opens, it generates a voltage. The more open the throttle, the higher the voltage should be. Each of these has a certain voltage range that it should report. Typically the lower limit should be around. The symptoms of P can vary. This will limit your maximum speed and overall engine performance. The P trouble code is serious.

It seems like if that works then it's definitely the sensor. Meaning the replacement that you get from a retail parts store uses the incorrect voltage and so you have to order the replacement directly from Ford. It looks clean and tidy. Also wiggling wires while running mid throttle does not effect it. Watch the volt meter reading as you slowly press the AP. I then followed your instructions Log in. Great stuff, thanks projectSHO New ECU needed. Disconnected, dirty or fouled spark plugs are common causes for engines that won't start. Some suggest using a soldering iron. Parts or components should not be replaced with reference to only a P DTC.

P is a common trouble code with the Ford F It is relatively serious problem since it can leave your vehicle stranded or severely limited. Diagnosing it can be tricky without a good scanner and the knowledge of what you are doing.

The actual problem was probably low voltage for whatever reason in that circuit, and the TPS is tied somehow to the Fuel sensor. It can be installed improperly. Announcements Posting in General Chat thread. You should be able to take the new sensor back and tell them that it's not working properly and exchange it. You might want to check the ground strap at the back of the head, or add another ground from a bolt holding a bracket to the head and tie it to another bolt on the chassis. Thanks for the input. The solution is here :. California Chapter S. Now it starts but the accelerator does nothing. Find all posts by Tunafish The time now is AM. AVS Forum. It's stupid little things like that, that make me never want to buy a Ford again. The following errors occurred with your submission.
