That all looks good. I would reset the PCM to clear all the fault then give it a run and if it plays up check to see what fault codes have come up again.

Hi immorality, how do you reset the pcm?
Same as resetting the ECU?
Or are they the same thing

Same thing kinda...

PCM is Powertrain Control Module (i.e it controls both the engine and transmission) where the ECU is an Electronic control Module and is generally referred to where it only controls the engine (like in a VN/VP).

So just pull the engine 20amp fuse for 5 minutes, or disconnect the battery for 5 minutes?

I'd disconnect the battery to be on the safe side.

Old tps not working, throwing up a engine light, so I put Delphi replacement back on. Took for a 20minute drive.
I'm sitting here back at home, car idling, and it's got a constant miss, as in seems slightly lumpy. Similar as it feels sitting in a V8.
I'll have to check the error codes again with the scan tool, and see if there's any less codes.
I had already replaced cas with a genuine Delphi one about 3 months ago as well.
