- This video details how I narrowed down my truck's rpm problem to the throttle position sensor, how I tested the sensor, and how to replace it.
Luckily, TPS testing and replacement is simple and quick. It should only take several minutes.
Tools you will need include: a multimeter and a Phillips head screwdriver. That is it!
I've randomly had the throttle stick while driving too, luckily i had a clutch to cruise home with. You just solved a problem for me that i haven't had in a while. First chance i get i'm replacing that puppy! I'm currently looking for the reason why it stalls when turning at slow speeds/at idle, people on decade old forums pointed me to TPS and i think it might just kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
You've helped me with a fuel pump replacement, which oddly enough led me here to replace the TPS. Thank you so much, you just earned a subscriber!
Awesome glad the video helped!
@@atozcustoms7170 so was the tps the fix ?
Nevermind figured it out. My meter will not go below one. So it is reading 1 and with the throttle opened up it reads 5. Should I get an analog meter or one that reads below 1?
I have the same truck. could you please tell me where the egr valve is I can't find it to save my life
So long as you can read your analog meter ain't nothin wrong with going Old Skool!
Do you check the voltage with the ignition on or off.
Where would you find a replacement for the throttle cable
Tanks
It should go to 5 amps?
What motor do u have???
I replaced mine and it is still screwed up....
To: A to Z Customs - In reference to your stated comment at 3:54, "It takes about ten seconds to replace the throttle Position Sensor".
Once again, (as I've previously (many times), found out down through the years). - I found there is no such thing as a five-minute job, and definitely not a ten second job either.
I'm having to replace the Throttle Position Sensor on my 1996 Ford Ranger. - I just replaced the Idle Control Valve yesterday. - And also, just like when I replaced the Timing Chain and all its related parts on it. - In both cases, (in the timing chain set replacement it was the screws for the Timing Chain Guide. I had to totally destroy the original Timing Chain Guide) because the torqex-head screws stripped out even when using the proper and correct torqex-head bit.
And now, even on this Throttle Position Sensor, I have had to take a hammer and a chisel and beat the parts into pieces and get them off the screws before I could even get a set of vise-grips on the screws in order to be able to remove those screws as the Phillips-head screws stripped out even with using the proper and correct Phillips head screwdriver. - So, I'm sorry to have to say, your....... "It takes about ten seconds to replace the throttle Position Sensor", just flew out the window.
Once again, I have yet to see (or find), where "Ford" has had a better idea, and my family and I own 7 of them right now.
Out of those 7 Fords, 5 of them have engines that run, but only one of them is actually drivable at this time.
3 ford Explorer's,
1 - 1994 Explorer LTD (reverse just went out last week (grinds the gears when put into reverse, but works fine in all forward gears)),
1 - 1997 Explorer (won't start, smoke comes out of the dash instrument cluster panel when the key is turned on, and the transmission is bad),
1 - 1998 Explorer (the only drivable Ford we have))
1 - 1993 Ford Taurus (blown head gasket or warped head (blows white smoke out the exhaust pipe (probably where the anti-freeze is going, and it always has high engine temperature on the temp gauge when being driven in the summertime even when radiator is full), (engine fan, thermostat, engine temperature sensor, radiator, and water pump have all been replaced and it changed nothing) , but at least it will run and drive if the license plates were renewed.
1 - 1986 Ford F-150 (needs license plates renewed).
2 Ford Rangers
1 - 1996 Ford Ranger, (has knocking sound below 1000 RPM, (but not a rod knock), and the knock goes away above 1000 RPM.
1 - 1994 Ford Ranger (won't start and has transmission problems.
You should have shown how to replace the TPS
1+1 stuff, disconnect negative ground, unplug sensor and put new one in?
I have the same truck. could you please tell me where the egr valve is I can't find it to save my life
