C14SE engine.

Car overfuels like a bitch and hunts on idle.

This fault came up on the ECU.

One of the screws snapped in the TB so it's only got 1 screw holding it down. Does the TPS rely on vacuum? So if there was a leak cause it's not sealed properly it'd cause it to be faulty?

No, it doesn't rely on vacuum.

The one on my C14SE packed in though, it's the same as all Corsa ones apart from the 12v and 1.2 16v ones, so they're easy to find.

So only being on with 1 bolt doesn't make a difference? Be such a mission to get it off to drill it out if it's not critical.

OK so I should try a new sensor first then I take it? Anyway of testing the TPS to see if it's faulty or is it a sealed unit?

Just replace it, hope that one accidentally falls into your toolbox at the scrapyard
