Default Power fc and the TPS

Currently have an sti 3 with a power fc mapped by simon. the problem is that during normal driving as you come to a standstill the cel is displayed and on the commander it shows as the TPS voltage being really low, but if you rev the car slightly it goes out and the fault disappears. It happens intermittently. any ideas

Have you adjusted the position of your TPS so that the voltage reading is correct?

Should be 0.5v +/- 0.3v when closed and 4.3v +/- 0.3v when fully open.

Sounds like the sensor is not properly adjusted or it's faulty

I have exactly the same problem as you told. (MY98) I think it is a faulty sensor sometimes it goes down to 0.37v so the CEL appears. I think the best way is to change the sensor with new one but they are not cheap. I doubt sometimes it is also making some hesitation at WOTs.
