Throttle Position Sensor - Non-Adjustable Design
83ford20 Article No. 83-6-13EEC - NON-ADJUSTABLE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR - 5.0L EFI ENGINES WITH EEC III - CFI
FORD 1983 CROWN VICTORIA
LINCOLN-MERCURY 1983 LINCOLN, MARK VI, CONTINENTAL, MERCURY MARQUIS
The throttle position sensor (TPS) released for 1983 is a non-adjustable design. Adjusting the throttle position sensor is not an approved service, even though a reference to a TPS adjustment is in the 1983 Emissions and Diagnostic manual.
The Emission and Diagnostic Manual, Section 4, Page 44, should be changed so that Step #4 is eliminated and a new step, #1a, following Step # 1, be added with pen to read, "Check that throttle position sensor is securely connected."
OTHER APPLICABLE ARTICLES: None
