Ask any ECU diagnostician...
"Do you have substitution parts for troubleshooting?"
Of course they do. OBD error code diagnosis is not cut and dried. I watched a top-tier diagnostician (Ed's Auto Electric - Lancaster, CA) go through a procedure with a car. Narrowing the field a substitute TPS, then MAP, followed by CPS, led him to a firewall bulkhead failed connector. End result - no failed parts, bad connector.
Without factory technical service bulletins the process is mostly guesswork. Without verification of vacuum values "guesswork" advances to almost total blindness.
