hi all.
i've got a couple of questions regarding the throttle position sensor.
1) how do you test it to make sure its working correctly?
2) is it easy to replace? ie: just bolted on the throttle body?
i'm asking this because i've been reading in the latest fast ford about this sensor and the symptoms it describes of a faulty item seems to fit some things mine is doing.
since i've had the car (small turbo stage1) i've always thought it uses more fuel than it should,and on overrun it pops and bangs like a good un!
i'd like to be able to test it before buying a new one as they are £75!
any help appreciated.

 

not sure on amall turbo, a big turbo one is about a 10 min job to change and can only be done by unbolting the short inlet manifold with the throttle butterly in , - (unless you have a trained ferret with a double jointed back )

 

eh .. sorry. but my english is not THAT well . What is overrun??? It sounds like full boost, pedal to the metal highspeed big throttle.. or?

 

cheers dave,
jandk, overrun is decelleration,backing off throttle.

 

yeeaahhh, then I ALSO have a busted tps.. possibly Mine does the same this as yours.. pops bangs an pops when doing overrun, sound good but was sure about it was wrong! Maybe this is the one thas messing with my idle to..

Thank you trotty.. very kind of you to translate

 

 

bige:

that info is correct for all webber ecu cars, 2wd, 4x4 and big turbo escos, not sure if the same one is used on a small turbo though,,,?
