(I tried to post this in 'under the hood' somewhere so it would get more attention, but I think it went in the wrong place. As a thread hijack, is a pre or 1st gen can bus = one of the eec pcms? Which category should it have gone into?)
Ok,
So, I am driving with the windows down, and I am singing (it was a great day in tennessee and I was going home). Suddenly, I see a big yellow wrench, the warning chime, the computer says "ENGINE FAILSAFE MODE" and I have no throttle. Just Idle.
I limp it to Auto Zone (Ford wanted $75 to scan me). They give me the following codes:
P2104 - TAC forced idle FMEM mode
P2110 - TAC forced limited RPM
P2111 - TAC stuck open
P2112 - TAC stuck closed
(TAC = Throttle Actuator Control)
So, I do the pinpoint tests in the service DVD, and the throttle position sensor failed two of the four tests. I couldn't do the PID tests, though.
Nobody around here had a new one. No dealership in the region had one. It had to come from atlanta.
So, I yank the throttle body, pull the old TPS off, pop the new one on. Seems fine round town driving.
Next day, it does the same crap on the Interstate. Three times, once in the morning and twice in the hot evening.
I go back to AZ and its' the same set of codes.
SO, now what do I do? Help?
