VW 2004 New Beetle keeps blowing Fuse number 43

2004 VW New Beetle keeps blowing Fuse #43

The car starts really rough, but once started, seems to drive ok.
the main problems that cause fuse 43 to blow are

fuse 43 runs a few things canister purge valve canister leak detection pump mass air flow sensor secondary air injection pump most likely the issue is the secondary air injection pump. those or the canister purge valve. either are easy and inexpensive if you get the parts used or aftermarket. maybe 200$ or so for the air pump and 100$ for the purge valve.

If the fuse blows the car will still run, you wont have the best fuel mileage but it wont do any harm short term.

how to replace Throttle position sensor on 2000 ford expedition

Image
Ford TPS Sensor Replacement Throttle Position Sensor The Throttle Position (TP) sensor is a potentiometer that provides a signal to the PCM that is directly proportional to the throttle plate position. The TP sensor is mounted on the side of the throttle body and is connected to the throttle plate shaft. The TP sensor monitors throttle plate movement and position, and transmits an appropriate electrical signal to the PCM. These signals are used by the PCM to adjust the air/fuel mixture, spark timing and EGR operation according to engine load at idle, part throttle, or full throttle. The TP sensor is not adjustable. The TP sensor receives a 5 volt reference signal and a ground circuit from the PCM. A return signal circuit is connected to a wiper that runs on a resistor internally on the sensor. The further the throttle is opened, the wiper moves along the resistor, at wide open throttle, the wiper essentially creates a loop between the reference signal and the signal return ret...

Ford Firing Order With Diagrams See Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 To avoid confusion, replace spark plug wires one at a time. Fig. Fig. 1: 5.8L engine-nl-> Firing order: 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8-nl-> Distributor rotation: Counterclockwise Fig. Fig. 2: 4.9L engine-nl-> Firing order: 1-5-3-6-2-4-nl-> Distributor rotation: Clockwise Fig. Fig. 3: 5.0L and 7.5L engines -nl-> Firing order: 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8-nl-> Distributor rotation: Counterclockwise Fig. Fig. 4: 6.9L and 7.3L Diesel engines-nl-> Injection order: 1-2-7-3-4-5-6-8 This will help. Thanks.

Ford TFI-IV System Details And Diagrams

Image
Ford Engine TFI-IV System GENERAL INFORMATION See Figures 1 and 2 Fig. Fig. 1: TFI schematic Fig. Fig. 2: Exploded view of the TFI components The Thick Film Integrated (TFI-IV) ignition system uses a camshaft driven distributor with no centrifugal or vacuum advance. The distributor has a diecast base, incorporating a Hall effect stator assembly. The TFI-IV system module is mounted on the distributor base, it has 6 pins and uses an E-Core ignition coil, named after the shape of the laminations making up the core. The TFI-IV module supplies voltage to the Profile Ignition Pick-up (PIP) sensor, which sends the crankshaft position information to the TFI-IV module. The TFI-IV module then sends this information to the EEC-IV module, which determines the spark timing and sends an electronic signal to the TFI-IV ignition module to turn off the coil and produce a spark to fire the spark plug. The operation of the universal distributor is accomplished through the H...
