Hello everyone. It's certainly been a while.
I've got a 12/87 Telstar TX5 Ghia, and it has a really really annoying occasional misfire and hunting idle. I've changed so far: Spark plugs Leads Distributor cap Rotor button Fuel filter Air filter Air flow meter I've also cleaned out the throttle body and it's currently got a strong dose of injector cleaner. But it's still there. It doesn't seem to have full power either. I have a spare tx5 parts car and I'm gonna try changing the ecu next. But I can't find the damn thing!! Does anyone know where they are? Should also mention the engine is an F2.

I remembered something else.
It has a bit of trouble starting, cold and hot, and it doesn't have the normal High cold idle.

ECU IIRC is at the bottom of the dash in the middle. I believe you have to remove the facia's around the stereo & maybe even the console to get to it.
I'm repairing a rad support on a AT Tx5 turbo atm  Cheers ToranaGuy

Seems like I've narrowed down the s**t idle to the throttle position sensor, so I opened the bonnet and had one look at it and decided it might be easier to swap the whole throttle body over
 I've ordered a new genuine throttle body gasket, so when that comes I'll get stuck into it.
