So, to make matters worse today on top of everything else, the car has now thrown up the dreaded P0121 Throttle Position Sensor "A" Circuit Range/Performance error on the code reader and the emissions warning light is on. I reconnected the intercooler to ETM pipe back on the intercooler today because the damn thing blew off this morning (it's not used to the extra boost following MRP's excellent injector refurb yesterday).
So I fixed it back on and the thing was idling badly, double checked the pipe and found it wasn't quite pushed on properly so I pushed it back on and reattached the jubilee clip. I took it for a spin and noticed the emissions warning light was showing orange, so out comes the code reader and that horrible code P0121 pops up.
Plan of action, tomorrow I'm going to pull out the rad fan housing and make sure all the pipes are seated properly in case the ECU is detecting an air leak as an ETM fault. If all is well I'll check electrical connectors and if that's ok, I'll be on the look out for a replacement ETM.
MOT is just a week away, great timing or what!
