TaxiDriver Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 I have an increasingly common problem recently with my 2005 Ford Transit 2.0l diesel, from time to time the tickover sticks at a higher rate than it should be, if I turn the ignition off and restart it is back to normal, then drive a bit and it happens again, instead of around 800rpm it might be racing at over 1000 or as much as 12000, 1500 revs. Im guessing it might be diesel pump related ? ie on its way out ? vehicle has been routinely serviced and mileage is only around 88000 miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Galore! Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 i had the pump on my tranny go mate, didn't do anything like that, it just stopped working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLuke Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Sure its not just the diesel equivalent of a choke in the colder mornings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browning 425 clay hunter Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 I think on the 2005 transit it's electronically controlled, I.e no pedal linkages to a cable. could be throttle demand position sensor located behind the accelerator pedal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Galore! Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 i think they're all electronic after 2000 mate idle control is down to engine management Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaxiDriver Posted October 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Thanks chaps, looks likely from the advice and the posted links to the Transit forum (Thanks Rob) that it might be due to faulty pedal which might not be to big a job.

vulpicide Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 In the good old days when I drove Hacks it would have been a broken return spring one bit of the coil goes down the inside of the other and it does'nt back off enough Oh for the simlicity of mechanical bits instead of electronical ( if you cant fix it with a hammer its an electrical fault) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul223 Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 plugging it in and viewing the live data would confirm a dodgy pedal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning 425 clay hunter Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 I used to work in the transit bay of OMC ford in Oldham and this is quite a common fault. They have to check it on the code reader but I would be surprised if it's not the tdps. Keep us informed of how u get on. ATB 425 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaxiDriver Posted October 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 tdps ? Ive checked with my local Fords place and new pedal is £115 (supply only) eeeeek Lets hope that does the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning 425 clay hunter Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 tdps ? Throttle demand position sensor. Instead of the good old days of a cable they use a sensor to tell the fuel pump how much demand there is. Quite a common fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaxiDriver Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 (edited) Thanks to everyone for the advice and links to Transit forums. I've changed the pedal this AM which took all of 10mins, Early indications are that the problem has now been cured Only downside was the cost of the pedal was £106.86 :blink: Edited October 11, 2012 by TaxiDriver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 at a guess did the new pedal have a new TDPS sensor fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaxiDriver Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Yes at a guess did the new pedal have a new TDPS sensor fitted It's built in/moulded, it's a one piece unit that simply bolts in and has a big white plastic multi pin plug, Hardest part of changing it was unplugging the old one.
