throttle

A couple of years ago I got the idea of replacing my throttle position sensor since it was the stock part. I gave up after rounding the philips screws. I then tired to use a dremel to cut a slot into the screw heads but that didn’t work out too well. Recently, my absolute throttle position...

I’ve read threads on this site about the tps and it seems that 19.6% is the normal position for the TPS at idle. Mine has recently started dropping to 19.2% at times and I’m getting erratic rpms lately, like a 30-50 rpm change every second. The truck runs really smooth and the rpms stay steady...

I have a 2011 Explorer XLT and have had numerous problems with this vehicle. Recently a couple weeks ago I just had the throttle body replaced since my engine was stalling when coming to a stop. It is starting to occur again and now when I use the AC and I am idle it will shut the engine off. I...

Hey everybody, I own a 2007 Sport Trac Limited and I'm having a transmission issue, and I'm not sure if I have made a small mistake leading to this. I bought the truck for cheap with a bad engine, I replaced it a junkyard 4.0 from a 2005 Explorer (the engine is dated June 04 I think.) I have...

I have been on the forums for years. Usually I find exactly the problem I have and the fix for it. But I am on my 3rd Explorer (98', 99', and now a 02') and I can't seem to find the exact problem I have in a simular post. So I have a whine every time I press the gas no matter the gear. Even in...

Is it just as simple as removing the bolts and putting the new one on? Or is there a trick to it? I've heard about the bolts breaking but that's all the info I can find on this site.

Hey all, I have a 2000 ford explorer which I just bought off my father in law for 1500 $ it needed some work and had been owned by my sister in law for 4 years or so, it had a coolant leaking issue and I had replaced the upper and lower thermo housings amd it kept leaking, after about 10 times...

(This question is resolved. This post has some symptoms while the answer to the problem is below.) Hello All, I have a 2002 Explorer XLT 4.6L V8. I have recently had some idle issues that I have been trying to work out. Originally, I my idle was jumping all over the place at stops (to the...

History: Mother bought new in 1994, tons of city driving TONS!! Very very seldom revved above 3800 RPM. Very rare for throttle to be applied past 70%. Mom went to trade it in they refused it. (She smoked :smoke: in it like CRAZY!!!) Never :nono: cleaned it yuk. Now its as good as new except...

I want to clean my throttle body this weekend since its really bad, I've finally figured out how to remove the throttle cable by prying it off(I never found the way to remove it on here), now I'm just wondering if the TPS needs to be off the throttle body too before I clean it. I read somewhere...

Hey guys, I want to double check a diagnosis from my local ford dealer that I'm not 100% sure of. I won't tell you what they advised until I see your responses, I don't want to lead you! 2005 Ford Explorer XLT 4.0L V6 4x2 Issue: Engine "kicks" pretty hard into gear when pushing down...

The truck is a 97 Explorer sport with the 4.0 SOHC v6. The engine is completely stock. I bought another truck so this one had been sitting for a couple months, only was driving up and down my road a few times. The last time I got it out it would bog in the 1k-2k rpm range. 2+k range had full...

Here's a picture of my dash. I have the white face EL grow guages, CB, roll-pitch indicator, GPS, and a security red/yellow light bar. The light bar has since been removed.
