ive got a 93 bronco with a high surging idle and somtimes its a low surging idle. The TPS and IAC sensors both look new. I was told if the TPS was put on backwards it could cause this problem, is that correct? Thanks!
Ok well I got a 98 Dakota 4c she stalls spits and backfires after about 20 minutes of driving it, I got one person saying idle control valve and another saying fuel filter so idk what it is….. any help auto guys
Eric, to be honest I can’t remember much about the final diagnosis on that particular vehicle. The family member that owned it sold it not long after I shot those videos, so I never had it back at my shop again.
I’ve been watching your videos and done pretty much the same things, but with no resolve. Getting ready to do map sensor next. I replaced TPS&IAC, PCV and hose & blowby hose. Also has new PCM, but that’s from a different issue. I have high idle and occasional throttle skyrocket when you just tap it. Anyways, I’m wandering if your problems got fixed after replacing all these stinking sensors?
got a 98 v6.my code tells me its a Throttle/Pedal Sensor High Imput.im assuming either the sensor on the throttle body or the accelerator pedal is either sending/receiving too much voltage,or the TPS has gone awry and the control module cannot pair the two sensors together as having a matching position message.i have noticed a complete,although momentary,loss of power when closing in on 2k rpms and shifting gears.anyone help me narrow this down?
some models do not require the gasket to be used, i know because i have pretty much the same truck mine is a 97 with a 5.2 i replaced the TPS and the OEM one i removed didnt have one and instructions that came with new one stated “place gasket (if needed) if you go to parts store you would most likely get a generic sensor for many applications if you go to dealer to get OEM you will pay for it just some info (lol i laughed when i read your reply though)
i have a 2001 dakota v8 5 speed. what are the odds it is the throttle postition sensor. when i push the clutch in as im coming to a stop the idle drops really low and acts like it wants to stall. but never does. also when i have the ac button on it seems to help with this and tones it down but still idles crazy just not as much

Interesting and thank you. Mine didn’t have a gasket though.

It’s never a bad idea to change your fuel filter. I would do that first.

Ok thank you for responding so fast!
