Tested the TPS, all numbers came back in the expected ranges. When I started playing with the map sensor, bumping it seemed to affect the idle speed but I couldn't manipulate it in any way that resolved the problem. I removed the housing portion of the plug the the map sensor so I could plug the pins directly into the female plug in the loom and test it there, all figures came back as would be expected, although I didn't have a vacuum gauge to give specific comparisons.
Reassembled to the plug and reattached the map sensor its mount, tried driving it with the map sensor vacuum line disconnected, was much better, still had a bit of a stutter but was nowhere near as bad.
Reconnected the map sensor, was as bad as it has ever been...
RE-DIS-connected the map sensor and it seemed to make a slight difference but not as good as the previous disconnection...
All signs point to the map sensor, but it isn't conclusive. Distributor cap and rotor button are new and in good condition. The ref and sync triggers appear to be in good working order.
Anyone in brisbane got a map sensor I could swap with for 5 minutes to eliminate it?
