Replaced my throttle body, along with the tps, with a spare one.
The original developed a coolant leak.
Now the car seems to be running a little too rich...
Car was running perfectly before the change.
Any ideas?

is the TPS set up perfectly, they are quite fiddly to get right
if so then i'd check the TPS with your multimeter

I've found it needs to be exactly right between just before the click and not opening the butterfly, it's a very fine adjustment.
Worth also checking it's not full of oil and give it clean with something like carb cleaner etc

I'm sure it's just adjustment, I had cleaned it prior to fitting.
