No throttle on alh tdi

I swapped a alh from a jetta into an 05 audi a4 and I'm pretty much done, except that i don't have any throttle.
In VCDS it shows the throttle % in measure blocks from the ecu. So i know that the throttle works and is connected to the ecu. But i don't know how the throttle is controlled on that engine, because there is no throttle body there. Could anyone help me out with this please
The rpms are a little bit high and when i press the pedal they drop abit, but after that it does nothing..

A brake switch may need to be incorporated. The ECU monitors the cruise control cut-out side of the brake switch as well as the brake light side (two switches in one unit). If the cruise side is broken (disconnected) the pedal is useless. I had this problem with my ALH in the Vanagon. I knew what the problem was. It was a matter of adjustment that wasn't sensitive to vibes, chuck-holes, and a slow rebounding brake pedal.

AndyBees is correct. The brake switch + light and clutch switch need to all read "000" in measuring block 006 or the engine will be in a reduced power mode.

The fact your idle is high might mean something else. So even though it is "fun", I don't like guessing what the issue is so the simplest thing at this point is read the fault codes and then correct.

So i checked the measure blocks 006 and they are all on 000 if i push the brake the last one turns to 1 and then at the end the 2nd one also is a 1. so fully pressed is 011. but the first one never changed.

So no fault codes stored?

Did you swap out the stock accelerator pedal for a diesel specific one? They're not interchangeable from what I have seen over the years.

Oh no i didnt i used the stock gas pedal i had in there.
Yes i do have some codes, I'll send later

LOL, you used a "gas" pedal on a diesel. Lesson learned

One says "Otto" the Other says "Diesel" for a reason

I'll try to switch the pedal but it seems weird to me that it shows that the percentage of pedal pushed when i measure blocks in the ecu..
