WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Ford Explorer and 1995 Ford Aerostar. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Faults in TP sensor or circuit should set a diagnostic trouble code. See QUICK TEST in TESTS W/CODES - EEC-IV (4.0L) article. If no diagnostic trouble code has been set, see CIRCUIT TEST DH in TESTS W/CODES - EEC-IV (4.0L) article for additional sensor testing and specifications. Ensure none of following conditions exist:
- Binding throttle linkage.
- TP sensor loose or not seated properly.
- Throttle plate not fully closed.
