So I flat bed it to a local shop which actually hooked up OBD for me free of charge (Thanks Massie Bros). They got these codes: P2104, P2107, P2110 and P2111, Throttle Actuator Control Module Fault, Forced Low RPM, Throttle Control stuck open. And refer me to a tranny shop. So I flatbed it to my Dads house and there it sits. Starts up and runs fine, just nothing in D or R, doesn't even feel like it engages when shifted to D or R. I was told by a cousin that he had a similar problem and that it may be the throttle position sensor.
We tested it, and according to the specs from Ford its bad. Should I start with that or is it my PCM.......or my tranny.....can anyone help? Thanks...
My issue is:
My 1999 f-150 XL (2x4, 4.2) manual transmission is stuck. When parked and not running I can shift into any and all of the gears.
Once it is running I can't shift into any gear, the stick refuses to engage.
I have tried rocking it back and forth, and I can start the motor in gear with the clutch engaged (only tried reverse) but once running it refuses to shift.
I would prefer to avoid the mechanic if possible and do it myself.
Any suggestions or possible ideas about what it is?
Thanks,
There was no clutch slipping before this began, the vehicle was driven yesterday with absolutely no issues.
I'll post the results of my check in a bit.
Thanks again.
Regardless, there is some clutch fluid in there.
What is interesting is that if I pump the Clutch then I shift gears briefly. I presume this indicates that there is a leak somewhere and there is insufficient fluid pressure? Does this sound reasonable?
Thanks everyone....

Then i get onto the road and it revs real high then shifts real hard. It upshifts and downshifts randomly and throws it into neutral sometimes.
I checked all my fuses, and checked the grounds that i could find.....starts up n idles fine so im pretty sure its something computer or electronically wrong.

Have you done a transmission service on your teuck? I am thinking in doing one to mine hoping that it would help. What do you think? "> :confuse:
it's inconsistent. my rpm gauge will begin bouncing and the od indicator will begin blinking the shifts will become harsh.
next minute all will smooth out .
I'm wondering if there's a switch,wire or something shorting or grounding.
In that I have a power train warranty, I had a local tranny shop rebuild the trans. Little change, so I took it into Ford who said it probably was the 4x4 automatic hubs trying to engage. Ford replaced the left ft 4x4 locking actuator assbly. It was fine for 4 or 500 miles and the same thing, not as severe occured.
Anybody got any ideas?
"While driving it today I heard a noise that sounded like I was dragging something underneath it--think shopping cart or exhaust system. I pulled over and everything appeared fine."
Thanks!
