You can scratch #7 off my TO DO list (TPS potentiometer). The wonky pot was making the car very very jerky at small throttle inputs, and only after sitting for a day or two. If I pumped the pedal a few times before turning the key switch on, it was okay.

The other day I found a can of Wurth electrical contact cleaner laying around, so I sprayed a crap load of it into the small holes in the pot box and down the pot shaft, hoping that some would get inside the contacts.

Wouldn't you know it: it's perfect now.
