Sounds like a severely cracked head to me. Did you overheat the engine???? Is your coolant level in the radiator going down?
I had the same problem with my 94 Cougar 4.6L. I had to replace the ECU. Hard to track down, good luck!!
you have to adjust the tps by loosing the screws and rotating it till it reads 0.50 volts [you need a scanner to do it]
I would almost bet your problem is the throttle positioning sensor( located on top of the engine and slightly to the left of center) my problem was the fuel pressure regulator!! after driving the car pull off the vacuum hose on your fuel pressure regulator, if you get any gas that comes out the vacuum hose ,your fuel pressure regulator is bad!!! this was a major headache that i finally fingered out!!! :)
hi i have a clio 1.2 2001 and have a fault code p0225 throttle/ pedal position sensor switch c circuit. i have changed the throttle pedel and has made no diffrence the vehicle still wont rev up but cant find the throttle position sensor under the bonnet please can you tell me were it is located. thank you.
Assuming you mean the throttle position sensor. The throttle position sensors tells the engine computer when the throttle position has changed, it adjusts fuel flow to match the throttle opening. If the throttle position sensor fails then the engine computer has to depend only on the MAP sensor to define air flow thus how to adjust the fuel flow. I would expect then that response time would be slower than when the throttle position sensor works correctly. On a Chevy Celebrity it might also turn on the check engine light and post either a code 21 or a code 22.
You may have a throttle position sensor going out or possibly the fuel pump. Get some throttle body cleaner and clean the throttle body inside to make sure the throttle blade inside the body is not hanging up and then get a fuel pressure gauge and connect it to the fuel raila nd see what kind of pressure you get when you rev the engine..and see if there is a drop when you open the throttle.
We've changed the fuel pump, pressure regulator, gas cap, and had a tune up and the pressure is still building...What else can it be?
I just had the same problem. You have to replace the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor). I paid about $25 for the part at AutoZone. I changed it and WOW! My truck runs beautiful!
check fuel pressure regulator
The regulator for the 1997 Ford Thunderbird is bolted on the back of the alternator. While the regulator can be changed separately it is more commonly changed along with the alternator.
The throttle body injection is non adjustable and controlled by the pcm (computer) the throttle position sensor or TPS is adjustable but is normally set correctly at the factory. If you have changed it, there should be instruction on how to reset it properly
The BCD (buoyancy compensator/control Devise) low pressure line is connected to the second stage of the regulator. International Divers Incorporated devises are compatible with other manufacturers of two stage diving equipment.AdditionAny regulator will work. It is not the regulator, but the size of the low pressure inflator hose. The low pressure inflator hose can simply be changed if there is a size (fitting) issue. This should not be an issue unless you bought a used regulator where the previous owner used a different inflator on their BCD such as an inflator you can breath from (which often has a larger diameter inflator connection).
i believe it is under upper part of intake by injectors- not very easy to get to. u sure it has to be changed??
