Is that worth trying on my TPS over voltage issue?

No we need to get that right. Just turning off the CEL when it occurs doesn't really solve the problem.

It's throwing a fault light, going limp mode, but if you manually select a gear it seems to hold on fine. I was just thinking of preventing limp mode because of TPS and all else runs as usual we would be fine.
Oh well.

What is the lowdown on the TPS - is it a potentiometer, switch or rotary encoder?

Bewdy... can swap supply and ground over, leaving wiper to input, to reverse direction...

atm working on a concept for throttle cable/cruise cont/TPS - which TPS rolls backwards (more complex to mount from choke side as it sees throttle roll on)

Ecotec turns the opposite direction to buick and 304 if you need a sensor to rotate the other direction
