Right well I thought I'd update this seeing as I've been living with it for a week or so now…
I cleaned the ICV friday, which has solved the idle/stalling issue, but nothing else.
Basically as far as I can tell the symptoms are similar to when my TPS was unplugged earlier in the year. No idea why this would go so suddenly though??
It's similar in the sense that when I blip the throttle using only a cm or so of the travel, it revs only a small amount above tick-over (say 1250 ish). It also revs like a hdi; fly by wire throttle response almost. It's not nearly as pronounced as on an hdi obviously, but it's still a bit rubbish.
When driving, it feels basically like the first couple of cm of throttle don't actually do anything. There also seems to be excessive engine braking with no throttle, though this is intermittent.
Also, if I go from no throttle slowly through that 'dead zone', it actually feels like there's marginally MORE engine braking than normal.
Its completely doing my head in really…
I'm properly hoping it's the TPS just on the blink and a replacement from my old manifold will cure the issue. Anyone have any other ideas?
