Replace the TPS to rule it out and if the symptom comes back it's a wiring issue on that circuit
Since my original post I had not driven it much as I didn't trust it, until I sourced a second hand pedal with TPS.
I have not fitted it but carried it with me as a spare in case.
I have now driven it a bit including a 200 k round trip towing Tvan.
It has not missed a beat. The flat spot/miss I described in my OP has not happened and the idle only problem has not happened either. Go figure.
Another question I have. Having purchased a second hand TPS, I did not see the car it came from, but the wrecker assured me it is 3 track.
Is there any way I can tell?
Can you see any part number or code on it?
Is it worth bridging tracks two an three together and using nanocom to turn it into a two track TPS?
Just for reliability sake. Never understood why they went three track.
That would not be a good ideea cos the Eu3 ECU needs 3 track setting, if you set 2 track on a Eu3 engine it will just idleQuote:

I had a similar drop out issue when I got back from a trip to the South of NSW to pick up my van.
For months afterward I would have the same . Every now and then the engine would revert to no power while accelerating.
After a few tanks it all went away.
I was even using Dr diesel or whatever it is called.
The fact that it is now OK seems to support this theory. I would expect it to happen again .
Add some water dispersant to the fuel and run it a while .

BTW, I think the culprit was a very high volume station in Albury. No immediate effect but only over the next couple of months.
