R REG FIESTA 1.3 OHV REVVING UP ***FIXED***

Idle flare's as old as the hills on these. Measure the voltage on the centre pin of the Throttle Position sensor at idle.

If it's more than 0.7 volts, remove TPS, drill-out the metal sleeves on the mounting bolt-holes [drill them fast - they'll melt their way out] and refit using the slack to get the lowest reading you can.

Rarely fails.

Canceling the memory of the KAM, I would have thought, it would not work if the TPS still gives the high voltage! Next time I will try it and probably I will be surprised. rudi www.the-good-garage.com
