OK.....

M20B25

Stationary at traffic lights, slight down hill towards lights, long que of traffic. I roll towards lights, car gets above 5Mph and the idle goes to around 1100-1200rpm, stop the car, and the idle returns to normal after 2-3 seconds......

Coasting down a hill, in 5th or 4th gear, of the gas, swingometer is on 30mpg, then after about 10-15 seconds it goes above 50mpg and you can feel the engine breaking effect.....

TPS switch can be heard clicking at closed throttle and WOT.
