My throttle position sensor on my 3.9l CPI is coming up with error code 63. Does anyone know if it is the same as a MPI throttle position sensor because my mate is wrecking a MPI 3.9l EA falcon and ford wants $99.85 for a new sensor?

Try it and see.

An MPI conversion might fix the problem

Ford tells me that there are 2 parts to the TPS in the CPI throttle body, an outer part and a inner part. Gregorys manual only refers to the outer part which I have tested with a multimeter as per manual and its ok, (Its just a variable resistor). My question is that the error code 63(low TPS signal) is coming up in the memory codes and not a constant fault. What TPS should I replace as they are $100 each from ford, any suggestions????

The TPS are the same. On 4spd auto's there are 2 in tandem.

I have a 4 speed cfi and had to replace my tps a while back. When I questioned Ford about a replacement they specifically asked if it was multi point or CFI as they are <b> both different

Ask a wrecker for the CFI manifold - they will probably pay you to take it! :)
These things are never sold, so if they ask more than about 10 or 20 bucks, don't bother with that wrecker ever again....
There are 2 on the 4speeds because one runs the gearbox and one runs the ECU. You *can* run the two off one sensor, but it's probably easier just to replace both TPS.

if you have a centrepoint engine and you have problems with your TPS, the idle solenoid on the throttle body can also cause grief to your TPS. what happens is it gets a weak spot in the windings, so the computer thinks it still works, and doesn't log a fault code. Therefore the TPS reads low because the idle solenoid hasn't yet reached its proper position. This took me weeks to work out, and once i changed it it went good.
