judging by the link that 88BlueGT gave and a visit to stangnet, it looks like ill be trying a new tps. i improved the ground and that helped a little, so hopefully the tps will fix it.

well, i went to my local autozone, and the resident mustang guy there said "Yes, it might be the tps.But lets pull some codes and see what the car has to say" So we did that, pulled a code 95, which tells me to test the inertia switch and if thats good, check the fuel pump, if thats good,i have to disconnect the ecm and fuel pump relay and check the wire between them, and if its still ok....... replace the ecm.

So being that my car was wrecked (minor, but still wrecked) im banking on inertia switch. which involves going to my favorite place...... The Junk Yard.

Hopefully some of this will help others facing the same thing.

well im down to the #19 wire (ecm to fuel pump relay) or the ecm itself. so if i had actually had money on the inertia switch, i wouldnt be able to fix my steed.






BTW, i hope everyone had an awesome friday night, i know i did![sm=outcold.gif]
