Should a customer express concern about loss of power and that the MIL is illuminated in conjunction with DTCs P2135, P2119, P2176, on any other throttle position codes then the probable cause is a contact corrosion on both, the pins within the TP sensor and the wiring harness electrical connector. So basically this is where I am the car has only covered 26k miles so has hardly been driven just hope it isn't knackered already could do with as much help as possible, more than willing to get my hands dirty, as cant afford garage costs.
#FORD ENGINE CODES P2176 CODE#
The 4th digit.Don't scare me lol only had the car a week :( this is how it came about,īought the car drove a good 50-60 miles as motorway speed no issues what so ever used the car daily for the next few days with no issues then whilst driving down the motorway I felt almost like the brakes dabbing on but passengers could not feel it so I ignored it as it seemed to go away, a day later it starts doing it all of the time in which case the system malfunction light came on turned engine off and back on and it went back to normal, later that day it started doing it again and then the MIL light came on and the engine went into limp mode I go home and used the in built diagnostic and my own diagnostic tools to recover the code P2135 after doing some research it turned out that this was due to the connections on the TPS corroding and that they had changed to design to use good plated pins and released a revised version rung ford up explained the situation to which they seemed to agree with me and quoted me a price that is so high it's stupid. The 4th digit Engineering Component identifier represents the major component group to which the part belongs to and/or the Ford division that originally designed the part. Which indicates this oil pan is an engine part and belonging to the engine division. The original Ford casting number for the oil pan is In fact this part is an oil pan meant for Big Block engines and was ordered from Ford with this part number. X is used for special parts and Y or Z are often service parts.Ĭontains letter Z which identifies this part as a Ford service part. Not all Engineering Component letters are meant for a major component group. In fact this is the part number for a 1968 390-428 Water pump. Take this example, C8AE-8505-H contains letter E which identify this part as an engine component or belonging to the engine division. It identifies which Ford engineering group designed the part and to which major component group the part belongs to. Only important or relevant applications show in this tableĮngineering Component ( the 4th digit from the first group)Įngineering Component is the 4th digit in the part number and always an alpha letter. The Mustang 289 also uses this intake which means that you will never see a Z as the 3rd digit on this intake when ford used it on Mustangs. Is a 1965 289 intake designed for Galaxie with 289 motor but the part may have been used on every model car line with the 289 motor. It should only be used as a basic guide to understanding the intended application. The Model Design digit is only a partial reference to the intended application but by no means does this imply a specific application.
The Model Design digit is often the most misunderstood piece of information found on Ford casting numbers. Basic Design Digit "A" is a generic code. Take this example, C8AE-9425-F is a 1968 390 intake design for the Galaxie but the intake was also used with on all models and car lines with the 390 engine. Most parts where also used on several models and body lines. This is true, but it is important to understand that most parts are not limited to a specific body line. Take this example, D0ZF-9510-AA is a 1970 428 CJ carburetor designed for the Model Mustang and used only on Mustangs.įord usually designed parts for a specific body line. Often when a specific Model Design digit like Z or W (Mustang or Cougar) is found on a part, the part is most often specific to the intended designed model. Some parts are designed for specific application in mind. But this was not designed exclusively for the Fairlane application alone as the carburetor was also used on Mustangs 390 and Cougars 390. Take this example, C8OE-9510-D is a 1968 Carburetor designed for 390 motor with Fairlane body type. These generic digits make the part universal and/or specific to a body type. They are generic Model Design digits like A O or S. Most parts are designed for more then one model application. It identifies the intended model for the part.It consists of mostly a letter but with some car models a number replaces the letter. The Model Design digit is the 3rd digit in the part number. Model Design ( the 3rd digit from the first group) Engineering version alphanumeric (up to 3 digits but mostly single alpha digit)
