Mapping Issue or 3rd party ECU?

Ok, will give it a try.

Where do they plug into the loom? I've tried to follow the wires, but they disappear into dark places. Plus, they are currently cable tied to the chassis so I don't want to start cutting stuff until I actually have the probes out.

So, that ploy failed, unfortunately. I really just don't have the right tools. I tried to use molegrips, but they are quite thick ones, so all I ended up doing was squeezing the casing at the top of the sensor (likely to kill it completely?), rather than turning it as they wouldn't reach the bolt.

Is it worth buying those sockets from Ebay? These ones - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LASER-4984-Difficult-Acc... Not totally sure they have the reach either, but I can certainly try.

The sockets I do have are too short to clear the end of the probe, and they were my fathers and I don't really want to modify his tools if I'm honest (plus I don't have the tools to do so anyway).

Would I be completely wrong in suspecting that this could be a manifold leak? Enough of one that at idle the probe sees nothing, but when moving/revving enough gas is hitting it?

Hehe, yes, that is pretty much my next course of action. Was just trying to do as much myself as I can, but I'm not sure its worth spending £30 on something that may or may not do the job.

I suspect a call to Taylor TVR will be made tomorrow!

But, again, I must thank all that have assisted in getting me this far, I would never have gotten here without the very kind assistance I have had and am very much appreciative of it.

Well, she is booked in. However, they are very busy and they can't look at her until the 15th April!

[Monsterlime]

Wow. Don't know what to say, except thank you!

I must expand my skills, pretty sure being a DBA isn't really going to cut it after a nuclear apocalypse.

I am currently making a shopping list of stuff that I should add to my tool box! On the basis my tool box pretty much just has some spanners and regular sockets in it (and gaffer tape), the list is long.

That is a nice set. Oddly enough, the spanners I have are from Halfords - http://www.halfords.com/motoring/garage-equipment/...

I went in needing one (to get the stepper out, ironically), and came out with 25! They were £50 at the time though.
