OP juspifool_dup1 CEG\'er J Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 326 Erie, PA	I have a Check Engine Light on, and the code came back P1120 which is Throttle Position Sensor A Out Of Range Low (Ratch too low). I had this code before and replaced the TPS hoping to get rid of it. Any ideas on what else it might be? Also, my idle is very screwy, sometimes it idles perfect, sometimes it will hang then drop to normal, others it will just hang. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

OP juspifool_dup1 CEG\'er J Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 326 Erie, PA	I checked out the wire for the TPS and it looked fine. I also noticed that it idled perfectly if the TPS was unhooked, so I guess that rules out the IAC. I got a P0122 code when I left the TPS unhooked. Any other thoughts on this one? 1998 T-Red SVT Contour #2588 of 6535 2005 F-150
