Hey fastdogs. I have an update for you. I had my local Ford dealership replace the TPS sensor and you are abolutely correct It my a world of difference. The car has more power, the throttle response 100% better and I think that the mpg has increased. Thanks partner. Keep the Stangs rolling.

Thats great to hear. I have filled up my tank and so far no problems, so my theory is shot. It looks like it was the sensor after all.
I think I'm getting a lot better mileage too. Its like a new car. Thanks for the update.

When I shut the overdrive off today all of a sudden the whole computer rebooted while I was doing at least 25-30 MPH, however the car kept running. at first I thought loose battery cable, but I again turned the overdrive off and again the system shut down and rebooted. After figuring some of what was going on I quit turning the overdrive off and the car ran fine all the way home. This is on a 2005 Ford Mustang V.6

That is a weird issue, but it begs the question, "Why are you turning off OD, anyway?" And what do you mean "the whole computer rebooted?" You need to give us more details of what happened. What lights/messages were displayed on the dash? Were all the gauges still working? From the info you provided, it doesn't sound like a computer "reboot" at all; at least not the engine computer. If that was the case, the car would've stopped dead. It may be an issue w/ the Transmission Control Module (TCM.)
Details, please.

I was turning off the overdrive as there was a long line of mustangs on our tour to the beach which was a bumpy winding road and it seemed that I did not need to use my brakes as much with the overdrive off (the engine would slow enough as not to need the brakes all the time. The first time it happens I heard a slight pop from somewhere under the dash and then all of a sudden all my instrument lights lit up as they do when the car is being started,my radio has to be reset as it also lost power, and it automatically restarts it in overdrive, so not knowing I drove a while longer and then again turned off the overdrive and within 5-10 minutes it did it all over again. I tested my theory one more time and it happened again. For the remainder of the trip I left the switch alone and the car ran fine.

Blown fuses don't magically start working again.

No, they don't. But if the circuit takes a different path when the OD is engaged vs. disengaged... Got it?
