As was suggested in the ECU memory dump thread, you are now a LEGEND Nomake Wan.
Thank you for experimenting on your car, so I didn't have to risk mine.
To get mine into power mode I normally have to hit the pedal several times, speak the names of some dead anscestors, and hold my breath.
I tried the TPS "trick" years ago, only to have the car sputter and grumble.
This sounds great and makes sense.
I'm pretty sure I have some spare ecu,tcu harnesses from my parts car. To cannibalize the female pins from. I am going to go check now.
