P and P Throttle position sensor problems. Thread Tools. Hi all New member here looking for some advice. I have an RV on a E with a 6. All was good a month ago when I drove it for an hour or so to a storage location. Now it starts but the accelerator does nothing. I have a scanner and it reports codes P and P See images. I've read a lot online and understand that this is related to the throttle position sensor so I'm not sure if I'm going to gain any new insights here but I thought it might be useful to describe the exact symptoms. It starts easily.

However, an oxygen sensor is easy to replace on many cars and is usually detailed in the owner's manual. If you know where the sensor is, you only have to unclip the old sensor and replace it with a new one. Regardless of how you approach it, you should get this fixed right away. So you should chech it on our car models. Disconnected, dirty or fouled spark plugs are common causes for engines that won't start. Spark plugs typically need to be replaced every season or 25 hours of use. You should also check that the spark plug gap is set properly.

For as serious as this code can be, the repairs are often relatively inexpensive and easy to make, even for a home mechanic. While you may need to replace the sensor, it may also only be a problem with the wiring around it. The throttle position sensor TPS monitors the movement of your throttle. When the throttle opens, it generates a voltage. The more open the throttle, the higher the voltage should be. Each of these has a certain voltage range that it should report.

No one wants to see the Check Engine Light come on, especially when the motor performance seems to be suffering. In this guide, I look at the meaning behind the P trouble code. I also show you what causes it, the symptoms created by the fault, and I give you steps to fix it. The P trouble code signifies that the throttle position sensor or switch A circuit has a lower input than expected. The throttle position sensor is tasked with tracking the position of the throttle. The sensor sits on the throttle body in most configurations. The DTC could also indicate that something is wrong with the electronic throttle pedal, which is installed on most newer models.

One video showed heating the screws with a blowtorch. I've made contact with a local car repair guy. He's willing to look at it but he's pretty much leaping to "replace the throttle body" and "replace the pedal" so I'm not sure if that's a good initial plan. Log in. I'm actively looking for some professional help but that's easier said than done where it is. There are three senario's for this fault. Sort by Oldest first Oldest first Newest first Most reactions. I was just looking at the diagram. He basically did the exact same thing and came to the same conclusion. I wasn't planning on doing anything with it except perhaps pull the connectors out and plug them back in but I can't even move them. Regardless of how you approach it, you should get this fixed right away. The scan tool came up with 2 DTC codes. It also has a special Ford menu. Recommended Communities.

Hi, I have an engine management light appear showing Fault Code P Throttle Position Sensor I have ordered one,,,,,does this need resetting or setting up,,,,if so how do I do it Thanks. General 6. The guy on this video shorted the signal line to the 5v and observed the throttle position "changed" on the scanner. I've made contact with a local car repair guy. AVS Forum. If it has, check that the ECU loom plug is home firm. Watch the volt meter reading as you slowly press the AP. If either or both signals are zero and you have your 5 volt reference signal at the sensor, don't forget to check the two signal lines for a short to ground before condemning the TPS. Once down there reseat connection a few times to clean up pins. Also wires are good could it be iacv maybe idk.
