I was cranking over the father in laws van that we are trying to sell for him the other day and the battery is run down. Well it cranked slowly and then almost like it spun backwards or something and at any rate the speedometer wrapped clockwise and now sits under the zero pin. Is there anything I can do to fix this thing now?
thanks

Autozone coded it as the TPS sensor. I replaced it with no resolution. I've read some posts and it sounds like it could be the Acellerator Position Sensor or the Throttle Control Motor, both of these items run about $300 each! Is there anyway I can find out for sure if its the AP sensor or the Throttle Control motor? I hate to replace both if not needed. I would appreciate any help! ]]> Automobile Tech davejr http://forum.ih8mud.com/automobile-tech/332357-throttle-body-problems.html
