Factors one will be about £9
CTS is the only sensor that won't throw a fault up on the ecu (well it does, but not when it's actually faulty, lol)

i changed my CTS 2 weeks ago hoping it will cure the jerkyness problem when i suddenly let go of the accelerator when the engine is warming up/hot!
its got a little better but still not cured.. it only cost £16 from vauxhall so was worth changing

Fraid it's a right sod to get to on the GSi's, took me 2hrs to get the bloody upper section off, the ICV is in the side of the TB. Don't clean the AMM, leave it alone. It's likely to be a stickly ICV I think, as it can move fast enough and you get kangarooing
