The throttle body is the part fitted to your air filter unit. Sits behind the engine block.

Iv had a few induction kits since and diagnosis said 'missing speed signal', no idea where to look for that. The temp sensor's the only thing I didn't check so far so i'll get on it asap

The speed signal is in the transmission chassis

Its cnnected to the clutch and all that

The throttle body is the acelaration opening, it is under the original airbox, or if you have fitted an induction kit you will see it straight away.
It looks something like this:

Thanks you guys.. I will have a look at these when its nice and sunny.. I may have to replace the temp sensor eventually, as it shows that does not work properly from the speedo...
