2000 Ford Mustang GT 4.6L compressor VIN: 1FAFP42X8Y
Scanner shows WOT as soon as compressor starts. Then, compressor stays off and WOT remains on. Substituting another TPS externally, compressor will start when TPS voltage hits 4.6v and WOT will turn off. CCRM is correct part #. Substitute CCRM=same results.

2007 Honda Odyssey EX 3.5L Poor Idle Quality, Misfire, MIL Lamp on VIN: 5FNRL387X7
