hi

strange on, what happens when you press the throttle

have you plugged in a code reader and checked accelerator position sensor alters when you press the pedal

have you tried turning the key to position 2 and pressing the accelerator all the way down, slowly 3 times, before starting it

do you have any fault codes

cheers

Joe

Good day Joe

Thanks for your very quick response.

Please see below.

strange on, what happens when you press the throttle ( Nothing no acceleration )

have you plugged in a code reader and checked accelerator position sensor alters when you press the pedal ( I have a small unit I purchased from UK but no very good and it is not indicating and fault) A local garage used their instrument which was much more sophisticated than mine but again no fault was seen)

have you tried turning the key to position 2 and pressing the accelerator all the way down, slowly 3 times, before starting it ( I assume that the key in the OFF position i.e. when you have just inserted the key into the lock is position 1 - is this correct) please note presently I am in my office in Vietnam my car is at my main home in Miri Borneo so I will try and get someone to try this method.)

do you have any fault codes (No as explained above Joe)

Many thanks stewart
