I think you can both see how this has taken so long....Throttle body or no throttle body? Location of throttle position sensor? There seems to be a lot of contradicting info at times.
The comment there about the air coming in not needing to be measured - what does the air flow meter (mass air flow sensor) do that is attached to the air filter housing? To my (very limited) knowledge this has metal strips inside measuring the air coming in and then sends off that info to somewhere for something does it not?
For the last 6 weeks i have had one local garage, one auto elctrician, another mechanic, a Ford mechanic (on his spare time) and another auto elec look at the car - they all contradict each other at times and i am left not knowing what on earth is wrong and when its ever going to get sorted.

Here are some other things that have been getting a mention on this EAC issue elsewhere on the internet (in no particular order) -

1/ Software update on the PCM/ECU
2/ Unplugging and cleaning up the ECU connections
3/ Wiring Loom (A few posts mentioned some kind of Ford recall years ago)
4/ ECU replacement and reprogrammed obviously (£50 on eBay)
5/ Throttle Position Sensor (but thought this was sorted by changing throttle pedal)
