Have you tried to adjust the TPS..???

I think its not uncommon for the heat warning light to come on when decelarating (lifting off the throttle)..Its the PFC just showing high knock values during this time but its ok as far as i know..

Might need to be mapped correctly.

TPS..Throttle position sensor....Small black connector on the throttle body...
Check the FSM for instructions on how to adjust it..2 small bolts to open and adjust carefully until you get the correct voltages on the PFC for closed throttle and WOT..
Hope that helps..

You\'re commander is also flashing up the TPS being out of spec however. It\'s needs adjusting

Oh.....ok.....me sorry!

(In my defense, i only looked at it being flagged in black, not the actual value. Have adjusted mine several times now, so i should have known better!!)
