Hey 
So for those of you who have read the Newbie Forumn, I’m on a ‘quest’ to restore my wife’s car to its former glory. There are things wrong due to her age (Car not wife, but that could be another post
) and I’m looking for help and guidance to resolve this. The list isn’t long, just ‘annoying’ as good old Jean hasn’t been looked after as she deserves. I want to help others and love what you all have here so if you would accept me I’m going to document ‘Project Jean’ so that it can help others in the future. I will have a read and a search for existing posts. If I find them I will link to them to keep them ‘fresh’.
Right….
So car is misfiring, not really noticeable unless you know it’s there.
Quick scan and I get the following:
P0120 (Throttle position (TP) switch - Circuit Malfunction
P0300 (Random/multiple cylinder(s) - misfire detected
P0301 (Cylinder 1 -misfire detected
P0304 (Cylinder 4 - misfire detected
P1220 (Series Throttle Control System Malfunction
I’ve replaced the coil pack, and ECU with no joy, this leads me back to it being something around a sensor/accelerator pedal.
Thoughts?
