Once a week or so my car will do the following - 9 times out of 10 it will be within the first couple of minutes of the car being driven (I never drive the car cold)

1) I'll go to move off and when I press the throttle it will choke up and start to stall

2) When I let the throttle off it springs back to idle perfectly

3) I press the throttle on a bit and it goes to die again.

4) I turn the car off, switch the immobilser on, wait a minute or so...

5) I turn the car back on, she fires up, and no more probs for a good week if not two - pulls fkn hard, no other issues at all...

I'm just waiting for that 1% chance that it happens when I really NEED to move and I die a terrible death.

Any thoughts?

What ecu?

Have u done all the basics. Service parts, fule filter air filter spark plugs ?

Have u ever set the tps position?

Remapped stock ecu (definitely seems like it could be an ecu related problem given that it is so infrequent)

Car had every filter and plugs and all fluids replaced in November last year, car has done about 8000 kms since then. 4000 being from Sydney to Perth the day after this work was done.

Never set the TPS up. Was going to mention TPS actually. It really just seems like the car doesn't understand the message sent to the tps sometimes hey. Like its sending the opposite message?

Car had a coupla dyno runs last week - do they do anything to the tps on a dyno run? As opposed to a full tune?
