Alright, Ive been having this problem for sometime now, and ive neglected to long. When I come to a stop, braking with my foot 100% only on the brake pedal, my engine will rev upto about 1100 rpm or so as I am just about to come to a full stop- it then drops to a normal idle speed.

It does not rev through the the entire slowing. My RPM actually goes under 1000 rpm when I am almost stoped, but then it revs and goes down.

I do not know what is causing this. I have read it could be a Vaccuum issue but I replaced one of the hoses that looked terrible.. And if it was vaccum wouldnt it to it through the entire braking experience?

What else could be an issue here? I think it is robbing my gas mileage, reving that little bit every single stop probably adds up here in the City.

Additional info, possibly related is that once in a blue moon my throttle will stick at a low rpm.. The pedal doesnt stick but the engine will hover from 900-1200rpm and wont stop unless I brake or give it gas- its barely rolls at this speed though 5mph max.. I usually restart the truck an its fine.


Any help would be awesome

Have your power brake booster and lines inspected.

VegasRanger02,

Im having the same problem with my 2002 ford ranger 4.0. Did you find out what the problem is. Im thinking that it could be the tps switch.

Thanks Heath

No, I havent. Its not a major concern. I checked all the lines and they seem to be good. What is the TPS switch/ and where? Im not familiar.. that would definately be something Id try changing out.

My truck is funny sometimes it barely even does a rise in RPM, but sometimes it rises farther, and sometimes sticks. Ill shutdown the truck and restart it and itll be fine.. Idk if this is a computer issue.

The tps switch ( throttle position switch ) is located on the throttle body ( carburator ) it is a small switch with two screws holding it on. you can look on napa, autozone sites to see picture of it. I just bought my 2002 ranger last week, and this started the other day with the revs. I did some research and found this was a problem with the rangers. The tps switch cost about $30 dollars. Make sure you really clean the plug with electrical cleaner spray. Im going to try this with mine. make sure you install the tps switch back in the exact same spot. not to hard to do.

Heath

I have to agree with oldcarfart, Iam an old gear head for 40+ years! Have your break booster checked.
