Boony_1981 Member 32 Member For: 18y 3m 18d Location: Townsville Posted 29/03/07 10:22 PM Share Posted 29/03/07 10:22 PM Hi Guys,My XR6T is a manual and lacking some power at the moment. I'm just wondering if the following is normal or not.....or do I have a semi-faulty TPS?1. When coasting to a stop, should the car be idling up and down between 750-850 all the time or should it be sitting constant on something?2. About once a month I'll turn the car on and it will idle extremely rough and almost stall (all other times the idle fine, but with the usual rocking etc.). When coasting to a stop, the car will idle between 250-750 and almost stall. I'll turn the car off and then back on and everything will be back to normal.Any other comments and suggestions are welcome because I can't work out what's wrong.Thanks,Boony.

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

The NUT Member 163 Member For: 19y 2m 1d Location: Townsville Posted 02/04/07 02:29 AM Share Posted 02/04/07 02:29 AM Hey guys, I put up a post about this same topic around 3 weeks ago because I was experienceing the same problem with my car. I booked it in at ford and they found the TPS to be malfunctioning (surprise, surprise), anyway they replaced the TPS under warranty and did a throttle body clean and carbon flush and the car is running perfectly now....... Hope this helps mate CheersNut Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/33719-tps-problem/#findComment-516352 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boony_1981 Member 32 Member For: 18y 3m 18d Location: Townsville Posted 02/04/07 05:10 AM Author Share Posted 02/04/07 05:10 AM Well I've just rung around and a new TPS from Ford in Townsville is $213.75, but in Brisbane it's $168.45. I also found out that nobody in Townsville can test a ford TPS for a fault either. I don't know what to do.And FYI.......the TPS is the same in all BA 6 cylinder falcons, including the XR6 and XR6T.
