After a few weeks of what I thought was tranny issues....ended up I think to be the yum char TPS going tits up...Apparently our cars are now to old to carry parts, after going to 6 auto shops finally found a repco that had one on the self and it was a delphi one(by that time Id taken a cheapie)

Ebay is the go for a TPS if you can wait. Last one i bought i got from Repco and it was $55. Normally i pay about $30 to $35. I'm on my second Delphi TPS in three years. OEM aint what it used to be.

Min was $51...was a fuelmiser one but plastered with the delphi logo all over it...think delphi must be pimping out their name
Bit over ebay buy from aus shipped from china....yeah right.....GST loophole....not to mention 2 weeks of auspost draggin their butt

what is an Italian tune up?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_tuneup

"An Italian tuneup usually refers to a process whereby a motor vehicle engine is run at full load for extended periods in order to burn carbon buildup from the combustion chambers, spark plugs, and exhaust system.[1][2] It is performed after a traditional tuneup and often accompanied by an addition of fuel system cleaner to the fuel tank.
