Hello,

I have a Fiat Panda 1.1 8v 2004. The problem that I am experiencing is that, as soon as I start the car, the car revs like the accelerator is all the way down. The cable is not stuck, nothing pulling on the throttle.

The revving stops when I unplug the MAP sensor, I replaced with a brand new sensor and same problem. If I unplug idle control valve whilst having the map sensor unplugged the rev then go all the way back up.

I have taken out the throttle body and started the car with everything still connected, I can see the idle control valve working.

Could the throttle body need changing, could this be the engine ecu or anything else?

If you know how to resolve this problem please get back to me.

Thank you

Are you sure there is a throttle cable? Most modern cars have a potentiometer / wiper system connected to the pedal. Perhaps a full throttle signal is being created.

I am 100percent sure that this car has an accelerator cable.

Hi,
Have you got any error codes at all from ecu scan? What do the revs drop to when MAP sensor is unplugged?

Loads, just don't think it's worth posting them.
