As title says really, Provence blue rear bumper, preferably with cut out for exhaust because someone took a hacksaw to the bumper fitting the exhaust and it looks a mess. Thanks

Took the manifold back off to check nothing was trapped, no pipes go under it so nothing to trap really. What's the easiest way to test for an air leak?

I've got a working map on order, if that doesn't it ill test the TPS. If its none of them then I have no idea, I can only see it being sensor related though as nothing else was touched
