Have you got cruise control? If so then try that throttle to eliminate the TPS. Maybe give it a quick clean anyway.

When mine was lethargic it was one of the electrovalves on the bulkhead - I just changed one ( without fitting it, just plugged it in ) and it fixed it. I only have one plugged in anyway..... :cheesy:

Has anyone your way got PP2K?

Yeah, when hitting cruise control it accelerates just fine. I actually started using that to overtake! Feels weird though...

Not sure if anyone has PP2000 - Sonia is the closest I think. Just find it weird with two TPS pots having the same issue...

Overtaking or just using cruise as a throttle is a bit harsh on the neck, its not very graceful is it.
Hmmm, maybe one last attempt at a TPS clean and maybe get a new one if this fails, it does seen to indicate this is the problem. Have you gone through the disconnecting the MAF routine..??
If it turns out that the TPS I sold you was duff then I am sorry and hopefully we can work something out.

Well, yours does seem to behave better than mine did but the EML light and the anti-pollution fault message aren't going away. I'll try and clean mine up and plonk it back in and see if the light disappears. Though it may just require clearing with a PP2000.
