Ok did order everything threw Bill. And even after getting a PM and the info here about the SVT vs non-SVT TB part number, I managed to order an SVT TB gasket I just called and left a message to see if I can catch the order before it ships, paypal funds have not been claimed yet so maybe can fix it. I'm one daying it out (15 not bad) so I can get it back together thrusday or friday.

About the die grease. No it doesn't conduct its a insulator. Gold terminals don't react like the old tin ones do to weather. Also all sensor connectors have rubber seals in the base to prevent weather getting in. Aslong as the seal is inplace your good.

The TPS is a variable resistor nothing more. It's range on this car is 400-6000ohms put grease on it, and you could induce a external resistence to make the computer see other values, maybe 800-10000 who knows for sure, but it screws it up. Which had to be the CEL problem, it threw it at me without even driving the car.

It was no problem cleaning it, autozone has terminal cleaner, I had a big can of electic motor spray for the model airplanes I fly, and knew it would be safe to use. Took it all of every sensor, and connection.

The IAC is leaking with the bottom bolt broken, and I'm sure she is faulty too (hell could of sprayed it out) but found one from the zone for 37 (Wells is the maker) that should correct the 2000-2500 rpm problem, before removing the grease on the terminals it was 4000 and was starting to go higher. After that it was 2000-2500 at stop but would drop after 3 seconds to 1000.

i mentioned it becasue I did the same thing, when I ordered parts for the rebuild I was just swapping to the SVT parts so the tb gasket was correct per the how-to. fast forward I ordered one for my father and didn't think about it and got the SVT one for his 95 ...oh well, Bill should be able to correct it before it ships

Yup just IM Bill, he is awesome, why I never tried him before is beyond me. I was starstruck IMing him at first lol. Then I wouldn't shut up (poor guy trying too work) but again awesome guy, awesome service, I know where I'm going when I need anything ford related.

In all of my poking and prodding I had noticed that linkage was loose. I thought I had fixed it.




snap grommet that holds it has a missing leg, so I'm sure it would work for a few, then let go while driving. But your work looked good to me.

Man oh man Saw dirt and sand down in the intake parts on the heads (forgot to plug up holes) however luck on myside all the valves seem to be in over lap or closed on the intake but number 3.

First used a shop vac on the ports with no luck hose to big, then used the family house vac, because the hose was about the same size as the intake ports, little bit of luck, but still some loose dirt. So plug all the holes, air blasted the engine bay (put on safty glasses when you do this ) then pulled one paper towel plug out of each hole (did one at a time) and blasted air (knowing the valve where closed it only had one way to go (out) which it looked like it did and again right into the eyes (safty Jeremy ) she must be getting back at me. So after shinning light back down in there, look pretty clean to me, so feel alittle better.

The number 3 piston intakes where open. So I airblasted around the sparkplug, pulled the plug, sent a blast of air down the intake and stuff flew out the sparkplug port. So I hoping it's good (well better than leaving what was in there).

Going to clean up the head to LIM surface, and still have to get that bolt out of the UIM IAC mount. Might have to cut it off flush and drill it out, stud remover will not grab it (only about 1/8th sticking out maybe a little bit more) and vice grips will not get it out either.. Then she should be ready to rock with new gaskets and IAC, and will report back.

Put it all back together, she started right up. Didn't see why it wouldn't.

I'm thinking either relearn is in order, or something just not right. I checked all vacumme connenctions.

It hangs at 3000k, she idles at 1000 all the time.

Do I have to drive it around for a little bit to relearn, or is there a process I'm missing for helping the computer learn the base idle...

And where is the info for the dang TH fix? I find it when I dont' need it, and now can't find it....


Thankyou

search also for "moose" and you might come on the fix.

edit: it's found on the main site through the FAQs

Sounds like it could just be throttle hang requiring the 5 cent moose fix Kim mentions.

Ok, drove it around today. I must say she feels nice.

Check engine light came on, went to the zone, p1122 TPS voltage too high. She hangs at 2000-1500, then will come down. I have the TH fix, doing nothing.

Had them clear the code back on after about 10-15miles drive. So must still be a TPS harness/sensor issue. I'm going to say maybe by chance a bum TPS. I know Mike was getting code 121 which was low reading I think. And changed it out already.

I say that is the issue though, might just fix it all up and idle correctly after I find out why it's getting the wrong reading. Alldata has a nice step by step, so going to do some testing.

But as far as the rest goes, it's working, no other codes, has power to take off nicely, and seems to be pretty soomth.
