Changed the temp sensor and no joy, what now? Throttle body was cleaned about 2 months ago.

Have you checked the sensor up on the side of the throttle body?

No, should I check it or replace it? What sensor is it?

Not sure myself what it is! But it does have a throttle stop on it! So may have some bearing on your problem.

What number are these relays? Are get some a stealer. I hate this, once it gets going it's fine, mine you it cut out after getting fuel last night which annoyed me, an S3 almost went into the back of me.

Mine did this and I replaced Relay 30 and it's been fine since.

Make sure you get a proper one from the stealers, not a lot really of cash really.
