Would someone tell me where the tps is located on my 87 f-150,,351?

 

See next post

 

An 87 351 shouldnt have a TPS, it was a carburated beast from the factory. Is your truck fuel injected? How are you determining that it is an 87? MY88 was the start year for EFI 351 and 460.

 

I'm wondering if this could be the cause to a high idle?

 

It's registerd as an 87 ,,it is efi..

 

I got one sitting my driveway also it's 87 EFI

 

it's under the 2 big tubes at the top of the motor-wait i think I got a picture
this picture is from a manual -it shows the air inlet laying on it's back it actually sits with the TPS at the bottom-and there is an adjustment on em-to get them right

 

If it's EFI the TPS is located on the bottom of the throttle body, but if it's EFI the first step to diagnosing a problem should be pulling the codes. See www.fordfuelinjection.com for all the details.

 

I'm pretty sure it depends on the manufacture date-cause I got an 87 302 and it's carbed-and I know of 3 or 4 others that are 351 windsors that I have worked on that are EFI and 1987 models

 

ok,it is definitely 87 efi,,,the tps is on the bottom,,my question is will this make the idle too high if faulty.

 

could be the IAC mounted on the side-I hear if ya pull the two big tubes off and look you will see a small hole to the right side inside the metal tube -if ya crank it and put your finger over it if it idles down it might be the IAC -conanski might be a bit better on them-he is real good with these things-but pulling the codes keeps ya from just throwing parts on it and fixing nothing but the parts place pockets

 

When my 87 Ranger was pinging & stalling off the line in first gear I pulled the codes.

The scanner flashed a 53 (TPS voltage too high).

Sure enough when I put my VOM on it the output voltage was all jumping all over the place..

Like Conanski sez take a couple of minutes to pull the codes.
