I don’t know if you guys know but WD40 was invented to be a plane
deicer.
It has an affinity for water and cleans well. Unfortunately, you need
to blow dry it and add dielectric lubricant to really improve
conductivity. I never did believe it was much of a big deal until I
used it and WOW what a difference. Ran like a new car or felt like a
supercharger kicking in, which should not be misconstrued as adding any
power but rather allowing me to use what I was missing with poor
electrical contact and resulting misfiring or injectors and week spark
plugs etc.

Phil,
Other tasks I have done , are reset the idle and clean the
intake of all the
slurry,WD40’d the electrical connections around the Maff etc
(just for you
Brett).
Other than that fault the car appears smooth and quiet. Very odd.I would wd40 ALL the electrical connections, check the relays
(also in the dash), and the ecu connections and grounds.
Don’t forget connections like the ignition amp.One thing to look closely at is the throttle position sensor.
It should change resistance smoothly and without jumps as
you slowly open the throttle.
Its a part that wears, since it moves a lot, and has input
on both the transmission and engine ecu,s.How old is the cps?
