I've had a very interesting week.

After posting on here and pricing up a new throttle sensor, I decided that I wouldnt gamble buying the part so I asked around and my mate said he could plug the car in for £15 but not for a few days. I started driving the car a little bit more each day and it seemed to start cutting out less and less every day, even though it was still in limp mode and running on. Then one day, I was driving along and suddenly I was doing 3,000 revs, limp mode had turned itself off and my car was running normally. After the engine was re-started, the engine management light went out, limp mode was still off and it was running on anymore.

So basically, my car fixed itself overnight and I cant think of how!

Any thoughts?
