Throttle problem
« on: 08 June 2016, 16:19:39 »
What would cause the throttle to just suddenly die so to speak?

I would be driving along then it would just cut out slowing the car up then open up again even though my foot is still in the same position?

Not a four-pot man, but my initial thoughts would be throttle position sensor? They're drive by wire on these, aren't they?

Yep, it will have stored some fault codes if the DBW throttle has played up. :y

Clean the throttle body & breathers as your first port of call
