Had a bit of a read today. Going back over the symtoms, it's highly unlikely to be fuel filters, but they are always worth a look anyway. It's far more likely to be the TPS. The resistances you're looking for are 1.3Kohm shut and 4.5Kohm ful open.
If you do see a fault code even briefly it should be c14 for the throttle.
I think you can still recapture even a brief fault code if you're in delaer mode and looking at the manual, what looks like a sophisticated piece of dealer kit is actually a switch (same as the dunnydoor). I'm going to make up a switch and see if I can access the codes like the dealers do. Anyone out there tried that already?
If it works, it would take anyone a few minutes to access and fault codes and with the manual, fix the problem.
Mind you, don't just tweak the idle up. Set it at 1150 and no more. Then you tweak the throttle position sensor (need torx screws). That is, if it's the porblem.
Good hunting! <i></i>
