Hi Dippydog, re your post
My car is a P1 2.4 n/a engine and I don't know if they run the same throttle body as the P2 cars-mine has the Magnetti Marelli type with 2 TPS.Most of the time it would run ok except when you got to 3,000 revs it was like hitting a brick wall,at other times the revs would hunt up and down while on tick over and changing gear was like using a switch with power on power off giving a kangaroo effect.If it's the same 2 TPS system then you only change one of them[bought mine off e-bay and it came with an instruction sheet]If you're using the original throttle body and just changing the one TPS there's no re-programming needed.It's called the Sacer method.There is someone on here who has excellent reports of his work that can do these repairs if you send the throttle body off to him if you don't feel confident in doing the repair yourself.HTH

do you have the details of the chap you mention who repairs the throttle bodies? Thanks
