Your symptoms and fixes remind me of a problem with a my Lincoln that I still own. The vehicle had very similar issues and would always throw out TPS codes and would have engine knock at lower rpms, irregular idle, misses and rough idling. The cure for all the problems was a new PCM. I replaced it ...

Time for a new clutch.....how much will this suck to do? Any recommendations on a good clutch for daily ...
