The one thing i hate about ford diagnostics is you cant display the data before 96....

good luck FRED ASHMORE
BINGO!!!!! I had tried partial throttle before without any luck, but since this car sat for a long time without a hood on I thought I would just change the tps. Started right up. Ran great. I restarted it a couple more times but it idles @2000 rpms. It did that a couple times before I changed the tps tho. I had an 87 LX that did that years ago and I was told it was the ACT sensor, so I changed that and it was fine. That's the next thing I will change on this one. THANK YOU FRED. Doug
