We did get a code and it's been the same ever since- code 48 which we were told by another user that it was an idle problem which makes sense.
The battery is running fine, and the throttle position sensor looked like it was working properly.
The problem is , or I guess one of the main questions is: If the idle was bad and we kept stalling and the RPMs would drop when we slowed down too quickly and we replaced the Throttle Position Sensor and the vacuum hoses.. what ELSE would be causing this idle problem? I thought maybe the ECU would need me to run around a couple hundred miles or so to re-teach it what to do but that didn't seem to help at all. We were told over and over the TPS was causing the idle to drop and just cut out like someone just pulled the plug on her, but when we put in a brand new one at $150 it didn't fix anything!
Yes, the SRS light has been on since we bought her 2 1/2 years ago. They just said it was because it hit the certain miles and needed to be inspected. It does blink sometimes, sometimes not- but what would that have to do with the idle though?
We're just about to blow a few hundred at the shop to just see what the heck is going on with her- but we really don't have it to blow!
So, we put in a new TPS and the idle is still bad- what else can we look at for the cause?
We asked about the VSS because the speedo isn't working either, but we were told the Disco Is didn't have the speed sensor and ecu linked together- but somehow I feel that can't be true because the system doesn't seem to know when we're about to come to an idle or when to give it the right amount of gas at the right time! We put in a new speed sensor and the speedo still isn't working!
Any bites here?!! Any words of wisdom for this idle/stalling problem? Also we just replaced the fuel filter, spark plugs and wires.
