@#$%^ Throttle Body
#1
As you all know, by reading on here, I have had some troubles with getting a CEL, which always is a TPS code. So, I purchased an SVT air intake from a fellow member, and due to some "tragedy" involving his Focus, he had an extra Manual Throttle Body, with a TPS. Ford won't sell a TPS for my year of Focus, for an automatic, they'll sell the Throttle Body and the TPS, but not just the TPS. Anyhow, when I picked up the air intake, I also picked up the Throttle body. To make a long story short, I installed the air intake today, and put on the TPS from the spare Throttle Body as well. Intake sounds good, and the TPS is working properly. I have to thank SL8RZZX3 for his assistance, as well as ZTWsquared for his assistance. You guys saved me "tons" of money and prevented a few more grey hairs showing up too soon.

At first I thought this was going to be another F@#kin Throtle Body post. But now that I have read it, (in the words of Borat) GREAT SUCCESS!!!!! Glad to hear that you have gotten things sorted out and your Focus is running normal again.

I think it should.... I'm pretty sure it was the home-made SRI Steve was running was the culprit and was causing all his MAF and TPS problems
