I’ll dig around for my old USA-spec SC throttle body and let you know if I still have it, I’ll be happy to let it go pretty cheap. It may have the stock TPS on it still so maybe you can use that.

If you were getting rpm signal to your laptop and no spark, I’d focus my diagnostic energy after the ECU (i.e. edis module, coil).
