The 65MM Explorer throttle body/TPS sensor/Ron Francis Harness?

[Bundy]

Reading the RJM article and it says that the TB I have on my upper GT40 is different and the TPS sensor plug is different and won't work with most EFI harnesses.

Well since this article is pretty old I am wondering if you can have Ron Francis change that TPS to work with this throttle body?

Thanks!

I thought there was an adapter plug for that on RJM's site? I could be mistaken.

You can either use a different TPS, use a 'jumper' plug, or swap out the plug ends on your harness for the correct plug...

seems a lot easier to just get the correct TB...there are every where and not expensive... adapting everything else to that can get pricey (ie. throttle cable,sensors,etc)

I picked up a used mustang t body to use the linkage on my explorer throttle body. The mustang t body had a T.P. sensor on it. I just switched the plug from one sensor to the other and it worked great.

We just got the female plug off the Explorer TPS, cut the mustang one off, and soldered the Explorer female on to the RJM harness. I thought I remebered the TB plugging up, but we may of soldered the Explorer TB connector also.

What throttle body is that? Doesn't look anything like the typical 5.0 throttle body. The Explorer throttle body I had looked just like a mustang version except didn't have the crank case vent nipple ant the TPS mounting was slightly different. That one looks way different, lots of extra nipples. IAC is all wrong as well.

I remember that the sensor could be swapped from one to the other but not the other way round, just forgot which way it would go.

I used a mustang TPS on my explorer TB. Works fine. I kept the explorer IAC and swapped the plug on the new harness to the explorer one. the wires are the same color so you can't screw it up.

I needed to extend the wires for the IAC anyway.

What TB is that? It looks nothing like any explorer TB I've seen.

Good luck.

it's from google images- I was just too lazy to take a pic but here you go. It's a 96' explorer F67U-BA.

It's missing the IAC as well so I am wondering if I can find the right TB that is this mounting pattern

 

[Bundy]

I'm still stumped on what to buy here. I have the explorer upper so I will need the explorer throttle body because of the mounting pattern right? And if I use the explorer TB I have to make modifications to the throttle linkage plates, the vent tube, and will have to make sure I get the correct TPS plug on my harness?

Is there anyway to avoid all that shit? Is there a year mustang that has that mounting pattern but with everything in it's correct place?

Sure...take any year mustang 5.0 tb...it will bolt up np. I'm talking early 5.0 stangs(fox body)

I specifically chose that same Throttle body, and just had Ron Francis ship mine with all the correct fittings, for my setup. I also got a 65mm MAF

You have the best explorer throttle body to use. You can either buy a mustang TPS or have RF put the correct connector on the harness. You have a vent tube on the TB. You might have to turn it 180 degrees but that's easy. You don't have to make any mods to the linkage plate. Just get the BC cable kit and weld the new plate on top of the old one. Do my progressive throttle mod and it'll be perfect.

They show the mustang TB as having a different bolt pattern on the fuel injection... is that not the case? articlehttp://oldfuelinjection.com/Inject_your_horse2.pdf

Thanks Phil- do you have more info on your progressive throttle mod? How do you turn the vent tube?

The 95 and up mustang TB is different than the 86-93 mustang. 86-93 mustang is the same pattern as explorer.

Just put a big screw driver in the end of the tube and turn it.

Is this the BC throttle cable I will need? And did you just bolt the pulley wheel to the plate linkage?

Yes that's it. Just bolt the wheel on it doesn't need to turn.
