Hello
I've got a 93 LSE 4.2l. While doing the 10k miles service I saw the error:
(17) Throttle potentiometer giving invaild readings
The error doesn't clear. I've performed the tests from the electrical troubleshooting manual and it seems to check out.
The previous owner did say the car would cut out every now and again while driving along. I have experienced this once or twice too (over 6k miles) momentary loss of power, but it picks right back up again. I guess it might be this potentiometer?
Anyone got any experiences of what might happen when this potentiometer goes?
Easy enough to replace, just a little pricey.
Thanks
Neil
