Hi, can anybody help - my Doblo 1.9 dies when I am on low revs, and when I go to accelerate,it doesn't instantly respond, and I have to take my foot off accelerator to then apply it again in order to get the revs up. When I'm going along on a straight run after that it is ok, but I almost stall (it doesnt entirely cut out) and cars behind toot as I hold everyone up.

hi

sounds like a throttle pedal position sensor to me, assuming its a fly by wire type.

Hi thanks for replying. How do I find this?, and ascertain if it is a "fly by wire type"? I assume if it is, then I assume the sensor would need replacing as they cannot be fixed?. To be precise- the engine dies when I am accelerating,(but it doesn't cut out completely)
after changing gear. If I continue to depress the throttle when this happens - it does not respond- only when I release the throttle fully, and monetarily does it allow me to continue accelerating. It's a bit like playing a game with it. I accelerate away -go into second -then it dies as I begin to throttle after changing gear, so I have to quickly lift my foot off the throttle then it allows me to continue accelerating. Once I am on the straight it is mostly ok- not stalling - so I can go on the main road for miles and there is no problem, only when I am changing gears and accelerating after each gear change.

Do you mean the revs drop to tickover?
(Just like you've not pressed the throttle..)

Or stumbling.. like its lost the abilty to idle?

Like there's nothing there- putting your foot on a marshmallow after changing gear - then only when I release my foot all the way up (throttle) does it respond when I accelerate again. (the gap is like momentarily - as if when you're changing gear and take your foot off the accelerator-but you are already in gear)

It idles, and does not cut out altogether- and once running along on a straight bit of road it drives fine. It's a pain, because when I'm pulling away- the car almost stops due to lack of revs, and cars behind me have to brake as it must appear to them that I'm stopping suddenly.
