Today's Tip

Today's tip, when you remove and replace thingee's from the throttle area-

 

 

made sure you put it back exactly as it was. The lever on the thingee was put back wrong, which caused this-

 

 

The good thing about a ruptured muffler was I got to hear what throaty Comanche sounds like.

 

 

And now it's back to normal.

Not quite sure how the TPS sensor not getting put on the correct side would cause a muffler to blow up. Your ecu should have detected a very lean condition and then adjusted the impulse width of your injectors accordingly. I've ran my truck with the tps disconnected and never had an issue. Too bad this happened to you, but I'm not quite sure if you found the correct cause for your results.

I'm not sure of the finer details either. But since put back properly, there's no more backfiring or high idling.
