Thanks I'll try get hold of a syncrometer, in the meantime I have the crank sensor to try and have also got some new HT leads so will change them (although resistance seemed fine when the old ones were checked). The bonnet doesn't seem that tricky then smile

Ok, can I suggest another test - you can do this without actually starting the engine. Connect up the computer and turn the ignition on, what do each of the pots show? Then press the accelerator slowly until fully open. They should start about 15%, finish about 94% and progress roughly in step. If you reset the throttles and repeat is there any change?
Thanks for the suggestion... did this test a few days ago with engine off and the throttle readings did both start around 15% and ended on 94% on full travel. Both readings stayed close to each other throughout the pedal travel.
Yesterday the throttle 1 and adaptive 1 readings were much higher than normal, plus had the AFR 123 FAULT message.

Also ref. the cold idling you're right, it's not a regular habit biggrin Only during this troubleshooting as it's a bit dodgy to take for a drive (can be ok for a while, then be cruising along in 3rd at 2500rpm for example, foot off the gas and drop the clutch when approaching a junction and the engine cuts out)...

Crank sensor. Had this on a couple of cars, exact same symptoms.
