High throtle pissed off!

See if that dealer is a gambling man - bet him the fitting costs that it will solve the problem.

And +2 on the fitting time - 10 minute job.
 
I agree with the previous posts,
you got a bad TPS I don't care what the dealer says.
It won't show "bad" on their little Triumph issued scan gun, but it is.
One thing that hasn't been mentioned yet.
Make sure after they do the install, take it outside their bldg. and do a 12 minute tune YOURSELF.
They'll probably tell you they already did that.
Don't believe them, if they did, they did it by the manual,
take it outside and do it YOURSELF.
That way you know it's done right.
then you'll have it right again......
 
Don't let the dealer tell you is is a three hour job like it says in the manual. It can be changed and set up in under ten minutes. The manual says that you have to take the throttle bodies off to access the Primary TPS. YOU DON'T!

It is held on by a Torx screw and you cannot get to it with a Torx bit attached to a driver. What you need to do is hold the Torx bit into the bolt with your finger, and turn it with a small spanner (or wench) using the hexagonal bit of the Torx Bit.

Does the wench need a small spanner?
 
It's not the mapping - that is a classic sign of your Primary TPS being either out of whack or needing replacement.

Why the hell dealers cannot diagnose this is beyond me.

There is an outside chance your crankcase sensor needs cleaning (5 minute job) or your vacuum tubes are leaking (unlikely), but they will show the same symptoms.

+1 if a dope like me can check and set a TPS whilst drinking cider in Westward Ho! then surely a dealer can do it. It took me only a few minutes to check, replace-with-new, and setup a friends primary TPS in a few minutes.

Got it fixed now? ( classic TPS signs) & +1 on do it yourself, last one I had the dealer fitted it in 30 mins or so, but I had to do a reset ICVS ( Tuneboy) when I got home, as it wasn't right from the off. ( 5 minute home job)
