I am sure everyone on here has more experience than me, so any help
and advice would be appreciated.

Also is this part the sort of thing that would be repaired or just
changed for new or recon ?

the throttle body assembly is the problem, but it may be just the
connector to it!!

With it running, get hold of the connector and wiggle it, any
variation is suspect. Clean the connector and cable tie it in at a
position where it all works OK, this will last for years, believe
me, I have done several !!

Can you use a soldering iron?

It's a simple enough job, if you know how to undo a bolt, use silicon
sealant and hold the cold end of a soldering iron...


Next one with the same fault I'll try that, thanks.

Don't forget to send me my cut of the 'reconditioned throttle body' cost
that you put on the invoice ;-)

Soldering tip: dry joints will usually be a matt grey colour. Good joints
are shiny silver, even after a long time has passed. But you can't trust the
buggers, you can still have a shiny joint that isn't making good contact.
