Default 2wd with l8 ecu

ive just put a L8 ecu in my 2wd saph and the amel valve clicks constently when you touch the throttle
and the idle speed valve dosent work
i have chaned the tps to a pf09

when fitting a L8 ECU onto a 2wd loom, you need both the PF09 and to swap the 2 outer TPS wires

check they've both got a 12V feed to them (they're earthed through the ECU) - if not, check fuse/wiring

Both usually fed from the fuel pump fuse on black with red trace wires.
