Guys im stumped, i added to my collection a beautiful silver birch gen2, which has its common mishaps, some i never experienced with gen1.. ive searched evereywhere if this has been covered lmk ill remove, left the airport the other morning in new orleans, all was well til it wasnt well, etc failsafe no throttle while i was eating lunch sitting while idling with ac. rewind couple months; the car would randomly, harshly accelerate/deaccelerate/accelerate so on.. from a stop, like it had bouncing airbags kind of harsh. ive noticed last week or 2 that thepedal wouldnt be acceleratinng as it should but only lasted couple secs of glitch randomly. i worked on it for hours, at one point i was abble to crank and idle for ac, still failsafe was on after numerous battery disconnects.
I put a nnew throttle body on, let idle for 20 mins still nothing rresponsive from pedal except slight increase, tho it moved at startup to allow the warm-up rpms, i confirmed the throttle is movinng on its own inside the TB. Changed TPS too, cleaned MAF, changed fuel pressure sensor, still nothing helped. could the pedal itself be the issue here, do any of you ever replaced the physical pedal? And why idling wqould it just decide nnows the time i tear up? Seems forscan doesnt evenn see the pedal.. anny help or insight is appreciated, thanks.
things ive done:
-pulled every coil to check they are firing
-coils and plugs new, motorcraft coils used
-new battery
-overhauled cooling system (radiator, condensor, hoses, thermostat, degas bottle, etc..)
-replaced OEM fan with a PWM Mercedes SL550 Bosche driven single blade monster
checked all wiring that i cann visibly see only found 1 ground band broken i reattached it the day before this occured
if missing info lmk
