a ECT sensor incorrect output. Throttle Position sensor incorrect output
Troubleshooting Flowchart
The MIL has been reDorted on.DTC P0505 is sto.ed.
Problem verificationi1. Start the engine. Hold theengine at 3,000 rpm with noload (in Park or neutral) untilthe radiator Ian comes on, thenlet it idle.2. With the scan tool, check thelollowing items.- Throttle position should beapprox. 10% with the throt-tle {ully closed.- Engine coolant temperature shorJld be 194 - 205'F(90 - 96"C).lf they are not within thespec., repair the faulty sen-sor circuit.3 Check the engine speed atidle with no-load conditions:headlights, blower fan. reardefogger, radiator lan, and airconditioner are not operaling,
Inte.mittent failure. syltem is OKat this time.ls it 750 {730)* i 50 rpm?
ls il 700 (680)' rpm or less?

Check the tast idle lhermo valve:
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Remove the intake air ductfrom the throttle body.3. Start the engine and let it idle.
4. Put your finger on the lowerpon in the throttle body.
Check engine cool.nt level and for

reolace the f.st idle thermo valve.Does the engine speed drop?
Put your Iinger on the uPPer Portin the throttle body.
Check for vacuum leaks, make
