yeah I knew it was something to do with the TPS signal - tried crossing wires over once to see if I could just bypass the ECU to get the signal going straight to the ATTESSA computer, but it's a moot point now - the car will be up for sale shortly, and someone else can f**k around with it; the solution I was going to go with in the end was take Microtech out and get a Z32 ECU wired back in, but unfortunately no one in Mildura wants to or knows how to touch imports, wish you'd read my thread back in the day about it dan!
