ZMANALEX Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Did the pedal stick to the floor ? If so it may be a mechanical fault. If not disconnect the TB and the battery and check that the TB butterfly is free. Remember this is a flyby system. Also the TPS may be faulty. Carry out your resets. Alex.

I've experienced this twice with other cars and both times it was mechanical. How did you fix the problem to get home? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMANALEX Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Glad to hear that you are all sorted, thought that it may be the TPS. Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
