I got my 2006 LS running again after sitting for 6+ years

[Jay Will]

Happy to be back. I just got my LS running again after a long and unanticipated sitting. The car ran fine when last parked, but now after getting her started I have the ETC failsafe mode come on. I replaced the TPS and changes the oil and flushed the tank. What should I tackle next? Any help is much appreciated

I've bought the aluminum degas bottle and something else. I was hoping to put in a new account compressor and an electric power steering pump.

throttle body ?

 

[Jay Will]

I have the aluminum throttle body, it is still in the box. I'm putting off installing components until I can figure out this ETC failsafe mode issue.

 

[Jay Will]

I'm mistaken, it is the thermostat housing

Will it drive before FSM kicks in?

 

[Jay Will]

No, it turns over and starts fine, but goes right into Fsm. I've cleaned the throttle body and replace the plugs and coils. All scans lead to the throttle body. There are a wide range of Throttle body's online, but I don't know why the range goes from around $140- $600.

 

[MIKEBEBE]

try replacing the TB motor only.
You can get them anywhere.
Junk Crown VICS. Etc.
The brushes wear out..
good luck

By TB do you mean throttle body? If so, is there a motor??

 

[MIKEBEBE]

yes throttle body
the motor is the black housing you will see the connector

There's an aluminum thermostat housing for the gen 2 engine??? I thought only the gen 1 had an aluminum variant that was made for the Jags.

What are the precise codes, and whether or not they're pending, being logged? Just because the codes refer to TPS or TB doesn't mean it's actually either of those. It's easiest to diagnose if you get a scan tool that can read Ford custom PIDs so you can see what signals are actually being read. At this point I'd bet $10 a wire got chewed or a connector corroded somewhere.
