Sounds like an air leak in the brake booster or connecting hose.

Have you listed to anything that I and others have said in your previous threads which ask the same question?

Check the vaccum hoses, as you most likely have an air leak!

Early cars had MAF'S, later cars had TMAP which you cannot see as they are inside the inlet manifold.

Take it to somebody who does know what he is doing? And pay money to get the job done?

I guess the EML has only illuminated since unplugging the TPS? I would have thought that once it was reconnected it would register as well and extinguish the light.

If not disconnect the battery AFTER you ensure you have the radio code etc for a few minutes and reconnect, this should sort it.

It may well be a faulty TPS.

So you checked the vaccum hoses?

I look at sum of them and it look ok but I got confuesed when I unpluged the tps it run better but did sound as if it woz still unting abit but when I make revs go up it sounds as if it stops hunting. When I go to pull away as well it does sound as if its going to die

When you unplug TPS the ECU will use a typical static value for that input as part of LOS (Limited Operation Strategy) Ford speak for limp home mode, so you will have limited performance, all the time this is active.

As a tip spray WD40 sparingly around with the engine running, if the engine note changes, then this is a sign of a leak (Probably best to clean off the vaccum hoses after)
