    Hi Paul,

    This is a valvatronic. I find a lot of garages getting into bother with these due to both lack of understanding and unsuitable serial tools.
    I know this is not much use to you but without access to good codes and data you will struggle.

    The throttle body on these is not used to control intake volume. Within a few seconds the butterfly should open all the way and stay that way. The butterfly will only act like a normal one if the system is in limp.

    HTH

    Alan.
