I adjusted the tps according to the NATO website. The problem is still here. I haven't checked codes again, but it still revs up to around 2000rpm after being driven a little and it warm.

Only sometimes this happens thought.


Im also having the same problem with my 88 tc and i took mine to ford for a week because i know people that work there and they could not find the problem

The problems appears to occur most often is the RPM's are brought above 4000. Tonight I took on a modded maxima and it happened again. If i drive normally it doesn't appear to do it. At least this is the current prognosis. I also replaced the thermostate becuase it appeared maybe to be sticking open on occasion.

I added an extra spring to the throtttle linkage on my 3.8 because it didn't always return to idle.

did it return sometimes and not others? Did the extra spring solve your issue?

Mine appears to be bottomed out. If i push down on it, it doesn't move. But i can try it. Thanks for the advice.
