DTC 0121 with Tial BOV>>??

I changed my BOV to TIAL 50mm and now the mill goes on.

DTC P0121: Throttle Position Circuit Range/Performance Probl


From what I searched its the spring on my BOV.

Does anyone know why this happens and whats the best spring...............???

2.3L 35R

Thank you.

I'm also getting the same code even when I changed the spring to the 11/10psi Gray/Un-painted one. I have the Tial 50mm Q, dunno if i'm supposed to get the Pink one instead.

Really? The vacuum line could cause this code to appear?

I'm running the stock line so what? and no, mine's is not connected to the manifold, it follows the same tube as the stock bov.

Sorry, I didn't get to read the instructions because the mechanic installed it liked that and I thought it was just fine.

He might be thinking that the valve isn't opening because the vacuum line is collapsing under vacuum

stock line restricts the heck out of the flow it needs to pull open, change that out asap

yes, but i can give you the cliffs

1/4" ID reinforced line directly to the manifold from the BOV, no T's in the line
remember the flange o-ring otherwise you will have leaks

i have the 9 lb spring, and i dont have any problems. Im changing it to recirculation because im running maf, so wether or not you feel problems it still is hurting it. But im using the nine lb spring and its fine.
