me mates small turbo escos keeps cutting out then running rough when it restarts for a few mins,missing and spluttering,he thinks its the throttle position sensor and wants to replace that but dont know where it is and what it looks like?

one way to check that if it runs ok from start
then put the throttle down a little take off and then the problem starts
restart and again or put on a collins monitor if you know someone got one to check the position

does not sound like the TPS
i would look at a sensor or MAP Sensor !
