is it like the newer jeeps where you turn the key on off on off on... wait a couple of seconds and the engine light starts flashing the code?



buy the way the 1300cc.com dosn't allow me to go to the s5 section.

 

Ok well I figured out how to do the on board diognostic.... and there were no codes... nothing flashed... so I guess my next question would be may be my tps is dirty... in that little crevice around the main sensor... so what would clean that out? compressed air, carb cleaner, water? again any help?

 

yeah its a s5 shut up

 

I figure it's my tps is got dirt or something around it.... I'm just going to blow it out with air and then put some silicon spray on it to loosen it up.

 

yup, shoot some 2+2 in it and work the plunger in and out, spray the **** out with compressed air and see how she runs, I checked my codes yesterday and 18 came up which is the narrow band tps, turns out i had water in it, i blew it out with compressed air and no more codes. So watch moisture around the tps's.

 

Well I blew it out with air, it hasn't happend yet but I'm still going to hit it with some kind of lube. Thanks guys... by the way any one have a driver door external handle they would be willing to part with? this getting in the passanger side stuff has got to go!

 

The ECU is getting a closed throttle value from the TPS.



Get some CRC brand "QD Contact Cleaner" from the electrical Dept at Home Depot, or some equivalant.

Spray it in between the TPS plunger & sleeve, work the plunger, blow it out, repeat.

It that dosen't fix it, it's probably just worn out.



That contact cleaner is also good for all switches and position sensors.
