Guy Sebastian has been getting heaps of complaints for this new house he is building. It made the news the other week.

Washed the maloo this arvo, way over due, . It also started and ran without an issue, (again).
This of course is always good, but specifically it means the problems I've had with it lately appear to have been solved by replacing the TPS and IAC valve earlier in the week.
Hopefully I get a good reliable run now and 2017 was I want to break down year and 2018 will be the I want to treat my owner to a stress/ trouble free year of great motoring.
At least I'm still positive and hopefull, maybe just a bit delusional

Surprising how many problems are solved by replacing a $40 tps......

Yeah, although I'm guessing from my line of events it wasn't just the tps , it had thrown fault code 28 a couple of times and then it started stalling as soon as you put it into gear but only when cold , if you had the luck and patience to go through that 4 or so times it ran perfectly alright.
I started out by taking throttle body off and cleaning it all, not that it was very dirty.
I got the tps from repco but paid a small fortune for an iac valve from Holden rather than ebay special but it took a few days to arrive .
Not sure if I got unlucky but cold start issue didn't stop until after I changed the iac valve, and then not the first time but it's been 4 cold starts now so fingers crossed
