Did some maintenance today and . . .

[Rodger Tellefson]

I cleaned to throttle body & IAC motor this afternoon. I get a Check Engine light, so I check the code which turns out to be P0122. I looked it up in the FAQ's and the answer just doesn't seem to make sense for what I did. I did clear the code, and will drive it tomorrow and watch to see if I get the Check Engine light again. Any thoughts on this issue? Thanks

Rodger- A TPS code as I recall. Did you remove the sensor?

Thought only I could misalign it and break the spring. Hope it's OK.

I did the same things to my ST a couple of weeks back, and also replaced the PCV. The old PCV still rattled when I shook it but I could tell it was getting plugged. That was a pain to get to, I scratched my hands up just moving some of the stuff outta the way so I could get to it. I removed the TPS and when I put it back on something just didn't seem right but it's running fine and no thrown codes so it must've been ok.

 

[Rodger Tellefson]

Found I didn't reconnect the TPS. So, I reconnected it and cleared to code. I feel that I am good to go. Thanks much guys.

You have to love the easy fixes,,,

 

[Rodger Tellefson]

Ya, that was the easy part. The hard part is getting the 7mm socket out that is sitting on top of the block behind the little by-pass hose.

I have 105,000 miles on my Trac and I have NEVER cleaned the IAC or Throttle Body.

Stuck a pencil magnet in and got out the socket. Yaa!



Tom, Your on borrowed time for the IAC motor.

 

[Kevin Lang]

I hope 105,000 miles isn't borrowed time for the IAC, considering that I'm at 123,000 miles and haven't touched mine either.
