Very nicely said LEE. It is the throttle position sensor. where's it located, my friend who did the diagnostics said it was in the pedal.

open the bonnet, look near the airbox its there. If you get someone to rev the car you can see it move.

Fantastic. much appreciated
Just wandering? does the sensor affect the MPG you do as I've noticed a drop recently.

Probably will do as the throttle and revs are all over the place.
Was ridiculous when mine was faulty, could never hold a constant speed.
