p0708 code help needed

hi there. i need help. i have a 97 f150 with a p0708 code showing - tr sensor otherwise called an mlps. have replaced the tr sensor, aligned it correctly, checked the wiring harness for damage, cleaned the connection plugs and finally today replaced the pcm. still the code comes up. i can drive it real easy going forward and it stays off, but put my foot on the gas or drive in reverse and the code comes up immediately. any ideas? thanks, brian

Welcome to FordTrucks.com! We are the Internet's Premiere Resource for all things Ford Truck and SUV related!


We are happy to have you! There is a ton of great info on this site. But, before you go snooping around there are a few things you need to do first.

1) Want to meet or talk to other members in your area? There are Provincial, State and International Chapters located near the bottom of the main forum page.

2) Before you post a thread asking a question be especially aware of where (what forum) to place it in. FTE is HUGE! Make sure you read the Read First: at the top of the forum before you go posting.
Thread moved to 97-2003 F-150 forum.


3) And finally you should review the Guidelines. They will kind of give you an idea of what is and isn't allowed on this site ("The Rules").


And that is it. I hope you enjoy the FTE "Experience"! This is a great place and we have lots of fun while exchanging valuable info. If you have any questions or problems do NOT hesitate to contact me. Just click my username then send me an email.

Need more info:

8 or 12 pin TR sensor?

Production date (month/year)?

2 or 4 wheel drive?

Transmission (E40D, 4R70, or 4R100)?

Engine?
