Tony: Assume not fixed yet? I also have a 2006 S281SC
I probably should have emailed you direct as posting helps on the forum can lead to flaming responses...oh well...
the following may have been done already. Is car still in 'limp mode"?
1. Change the throttle body due to the noises you heard in TB
2. You also need a new or known to be good TPS
3. Fuse checks:
#20 PCM Mini relay, change it with known good one
#45 PCM 10a
#53 PCM Diode You have already done this..?
4. #68 Ignition 20a Note: the S197 Mustang will run in 'Limp Mode" if this 20a ignition fuse #68 is blown so do not ignore this one!!
5. Clear cache in computer and re-learn idle, etc by doing the following;
Remove both Pos and Neg cables from battery
Connect small jumper wire between the removed Pos cable and removed
Neg cable and leave connected for a minimum of 20minutes to clear
cache and re-learn.
The reason for clearing the cache and re-learning is that the jolt of current from the shorting problem with your fans has messed up a lot of normal parameters.

Tony, you sound desperate so no harm in doing all of the above.... I think..
