Hi
I'm just wondering if this could be a problem with the 'throttle' pedal itself. Although unlikely, I think it should be eliminated as a cause. See K055 on the attached diagram. The 'drive by wire' throttle pedal has two potentiometers ('pots') to signal its position to the ECU. Each pot has 3 wires, so a total of 6 wires go back to the ECU. The ECU will check that it gets more or less the same reading from both pots, as a safety feature. I don't know what strategy it uses if this is not the case, but it might prevent running. The pots can be independently checked with an ohmmeter after disconnection.
Thank you kindly for your clear explanation on the throttle pedal and assembly.
We will look to strip this down tomorrow and test.
