Welcome lads

coombesplo, give ford spares a buzz for list pricing... maughen thiem is good here in Adelaide (well, they used to be??? lol).

Pete - we're not aware of any 'DIY' method to pull fault codes from a BA falcon yet. The BA ECU utilises OBD II which means you cant do the E-series falcon trick of reading the codes from a multimeter... might have to get a ford workshop to run the codes for you??

TPS's, at least for an e-series aren't cheap! i'd make sure its the sensor first - from having busted two myself, they go for trade price ~$150 each

Thanks for the info, i have a bike as well and put a power commander module on it. It came with about a dozen maps which covered most mods or aftremarket stuff you can fit. Takes about 45 mins to fit and modifies the stock injector pulses. Is there a similiar gadget to fit a BA Falcon?
the power commander cost about $400 from the USA.
