What are some Ford transit accelerator pedal problems?

The Ford Transit is known for its fair share of problems. Specific to the accelerator pedal, You may find Your van often throwing code P1342, P1343, or P1344, which indicate a failed Pedal Demand Sensor A, B, or C. You may also find that a dead gas pedal is the result a defective throttle position sensor (TPS). In either case, You'll need to make a quick replacement for safe operation.

Each of the accelerator pedal assembly and the TPS can be expected to cost around $100, but takeng the van to a professional mechanic for a fix can cost You upwards of $300.
