Hi guys, I'm having a stutter problem going from idle to anything more than a quarter throttle (revs climb nicely if I build them up really slowly) ... A new TPS is £195 from BM and they have no idea when they would have 1 available. So that leaves me to test mine with a multimeter, with it being a 6 pin which only came on later Auto EH models, I have no idea how to do so. Any help would be greatfully appreciated, as this problem is driving me crazy :mad: ... There's most definitely a pint or two for anyone who can point me in the right direction...

Thanks in advance

gives a bit of info on what pin does what eg the idle and wot switch and also the 3 pins that are for the potentiometer part of the sensor for the gear box should be pretty easy to test it.
