Dyno will not help ,just tell you that you have a problem but you know that already, try cleaning out the TB and check the TB rubber sealing ring for splits other than that sensor fault but not shown on eml, or as said filter or tps maybe? looks like its going to take time to get to the bottom of this one.

My gf had a service done and they didnt attach the fuel line back on properly so when it died up a hill and stank of fuel she legged it lol. I nearly went down to the garage to grab the monkey round his throat.
Also mines been needing wet start on its plugs to stop it from having poor starts!
