The CEL has come back on again. I am guessing it is the same issue with the TPS. Guess I will double check with a scanner, and then look for a replacement. The mechanic was able to clean it last time but stated it would act up again. So maybe this time I will just replace it.

Ford 02 sensors are known to fail, but your heading in the right direction to scan it and pull the DTCs, good luck Jim

Happy thirsty Thursday Nor Cal.

The Thunderbird still drives well. Filled up the tank yesterday (at $1.89 a gallon!) and it is still averaging over 20 mpg. Engine does not run rough, so I will wait until my big paycheck gets here next month to take care of it. I can get it scanned this Sunday to find out what codes it is throwing. Then wait until the check gets here to get the part if it is not too expensive. Have to pay registration out of next month's check also.

Happy Friday Nor Cal.

It was the MAF sensor that was cleaned last time, not the TPS. Maybe I can find one in a local junkyard.

IMO, ALL vendors O2 sensors are known to fail. They live in a pretty hostile place.

Living the life.... BBQ at the Club today and now grocery shopping with SWMBO and the Minion. Actually, sitting in the PSD in the car park resting the newly re-injured knee while they shop. ðŸ˜
