Darrell O'Neill Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I take it you mean a Throttle pot, and not a TPS for carbs Terry? (I have a TPS) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Banks Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I have an old "Ford" TPS off my Dunnell Zetec injection if it's any help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark.anson Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Why don't you ring Steve Broughton Terry. He's, the man for MBE stuff as you know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Aspden Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I also think you should check the date for 3 sisters, I was under the impression it was Sunday, not saturday..... Also, is there a spark when cranking? If so, then the crank sensor works. If no spark, start with the crank sensor. If it sparks, and won't run, then the TPS may be a problem, but how do you intend to set this up once replaced? Does it not need software? & If you have software, use the trouble shooting to find the fault..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Everall Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Paul 3 sisters is Sunday but need to sort out by Saturday I hav not testd anything myself but Steve says it tries to fire ( even backfire) and plugs are wet If crank sensor faulty would it fire at all? Not sure I have full MBE software but it can bee downloaded so I hope I have a serial lead to connect to ECU Its a major issue as I am not available until Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mark.anson Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Has he check everything else terry before messing with the electrics such as the actual timing or fuel pressure reg to see if it's over fueling and flooding the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Everall Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 fitted new plugs to get it started but within 20 scs it was ovefuelling spewing out nasty exhaust smoke Spoke to Paul Exon who believes it could be a throttle pot issue Going to take car to him tomorrow and hope its a simple reinstall of ecu map and check throttle pot etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
