Could you decribe the missing a little more as it sound like the kind of miss im experiencing but ive so far not managed to cure it.

its like a dip in power or something braking down when trying to drive/build up speed(if that makes sense)

Knock sensor or knock sensor wiring, have you flashed the codes off the ecu? my xe had all sorts of issues more to do with the wiring loom being at fault than the engine sensors. failing that try unplugging the tps and seeing if it makes any difference.

Sounds esactilly like what mines doing its like dipping every 100-200 revs while accelerating through the revs but it still picks up speed at the same time im putting it down to the loom as ive no codes showing either and my knock sensor wire was broken to start with.

Yea mate ive changed mine 3 times i have a wire broken that runs to the knock sensor that ive now replaced with another length of wire to get the light off but im still left with the miss like i said i think its the loom tbh so im gonna put my mint loom on in the summer and try that.
