Jim:
You refer to a "pot" - is this a variable resistor connected to the accellerator pedal or is it inside the ETA? I am starting to suspect a mechanical linkage/accellerator pedal assembly problem at this point, rather than the ETA's, which both seem to be functioning normally, and the cable harnesses are practically new (actually, judging by the stickers on both ETA's, it appears now they were both replaced a few years ago).
Maybe I got lucky. I will keep you posted.
I have spent many hours on the net researching posts related to ASR problems, and there are some trends emerging which will allow me to compile all the various symptoms related to ASR problems, and facilitate diagnosing the various causes.
For example, if the ASR light comes on (as in my case) while the car is idling, at a standstill, but not when the engine is operating at elevated RPM's, it almost seems safe to assume that it is not wiring harness/ETA related, but more likely caused by a stcky cable or missing spring??
