Ford Windstar idle speed controll sensor

1998 Ford windstar idle control sensor

This idle control sensor is located on the throttle body, and it controls the idle when your foot comes off of the pedal to stop and or turn corners.

IF this sensor stops doing its job, then vehicle will shut off as soon as the foot is removed from the throttle because then the combustion chamber will not receive any air.

These details will help.

Thanks.

High Idle Problem

Replacing Throttle Position Sensor on Kia Sorento

On most of cases high idles are caused by one of three things -

• Faulty Throttle position sensor, 
• sticking throttle plate or 
• There is a vacuum leak.

So to confirm what is causing these high idle problem
First check all vacuum hoses for cracks/splits/breaks/disconnects and repair as needed. Clean the throttle body of all carbon buildup. If still a high idle, replace the TP sensor.

Replacing throttle position sensor is not very difficult.

Some newbie car repair techs think,there is requirement of computer reprogramming after replacing TPS. But its not required. At-least on 2005 KIA Sorento car model.



Removal & Installation for throttle position sensor:----

Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Disconnect the sensor connector.
Remove the sensor retaining screws. Remove the sensor from its mounting.

To install the new sensor:
Installation is the reverse of the removal procedure.
Now once the sensor is installed after that ,Crank engine and with all accessories off, allow to idle for 3 minutes without touching the accelerator or brake pedal.
Once these procedure is done the sensor will start operating.

These details will help.
Thanks.

Engine stumbles coming off idle when warm?

Problems occurs on all types of car.New as well as old cars.

In this case this problem is noticed on 1992 Toyota 4-Runner.Make sure that you have the TPS adjusted correctly so that the IDL points are set and the computer knows that your at idle. The next most common problem is related to the mass airflow sensor. The wiper grids on the circuit board have a tendency to get worn in a particular spot just off idle. The second most common problem is restricted injectors. This engine was notorious for clogging up injectors. It's not likely intake leak. Run a fuel pressure test to confirm that when the vehicle starts to accelerate fuel pressure is not dropping due to a fuel pressure regulator problem. I Have seen a few pressure regulators leak on these engine models. Make sure the base timing is set correctly once you have the IDL points correctly set.

Getting this tests done will help you to confirm the problem.

Thanks.
