Good deal. It sounds like it might be another case of the latest version of 'Murphy's Law'. " If an unusual problem continues to plague, suspect the last new or re-built part installed".

The Bentley manual also shows an input from the TPS to the ICU. That might be something else to check.

Bentley also has the following caution on the Volvo/Chrysler ignition. I don't know if it's a bunch of BS, or if it's been covered here on the Board before. I do know I have had my connector off many times and no problems.

"CAUTION On cars with Volvo/Chrysler ignition systems, do not disconnect the harness connector from the control unit. The connector uses special one-way sleeves that are damaged when disconnected. If the harness is removed or the control unit is replaced, the complete wiring harness will need to be replaced"
