fitted my walbro fuel pump on sat at work, no change to the jerking problem. I have fuel preasure again though.
had a quick tinker tonight i thought ill unplug the tps and have a drive, gess what NO JERKING when i let off the throttle :)
it doesn't boost all the way to the end off the white with it unplugged, so plugged it back in and the jerking came back and full boost again.

im gessing with it unplugged it wont allow full boost. so what do you think? tps at fault?

sounds like its the extra boost causing the jerking, so could be spark plugs (blow outt)

it tends to do it more violently at lower revs and speed, even though it does do it all the time boost or no boost.

just thought it was strange that i unplug the tps and the problem goes away. could be wrong though

Sound like your TPS is giving spurious readings to the ECU, time for a new TPS. ;)

I checked my TPS out by plugging the laptop in with some diagnostic software, it was only reading up to about 50% throttle opening. No fault codes just looked at the live data - press the pedal with the engine off, ignition on you will be able to see if it is reading correctly.
