Hello all, been away for most of the summer with little time to poke around the forums to keep up with the community. Need to get back to a few of you who have Im'd me (specially Kooya, since I need to return something to him).
Experience and Oh $HT moment on my ride home tonight (twice) driving along in traffic slowing down, switched gears, let out clutch, go to accelerate and nothing but Dead Pedal.
No throttle response at all. Motor still running, revs when put in lower gear.
I was able to get off the side of the road and noticed my tach at about 1200 rpms. Glow plug light was flashing. I thought I remember getting some throttle control back but don't remember if it was before or after I stopped and then restarted the car. The glow plug light blinked for the remainder of the commute.
Decided to brave Blue Route congestion and continue on, nervously. Car ran normally, although I did not really push anything, till my exit on the highway. Where it again gave me no acceleration when I needed it most. After almost getting rear ended and causing someone else to get in an accident, I coasted to the shoulder where I calmed down then shut off the car and restarted it.
Here are my fault codes,
6 Faults Found:
01050 - Glow Plug Monitoring
35-10 - - - Intermittent---
00560 - Exhaust Gas Recirculation System
17-10 - Control Difference - Intermittent
00777 - Accelerator Position Sensor (G79)
27-10 - Implausible Signal - Intermittent
00527 - Intake Manifold Temperature Sensor (G72)
30-00 - Open or Short to B+
00539 - Fuel Temperature Sensor (G81)
30-00 - Open or Short to B+
00522 - Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (G62)
30-00 - Open or Short to B+
=========================
the last time I checked the codes, the only fault was Glow plugs, due to no harness is installed. (In garage)
I also have a PD 150 intake with egr delete pipe. I am running RC 3 so this code maybe due to a different chip set that I was running for a couple of months.
So the code that stands out to me is the Accelerator sensor code. Which makes sense since the symptom matches the code.
Now to determine if something else may trigger the same symptoms and codes.
This is where I need help from the community. Should I replace the Throttle sensor, assuming it is a couple hundred and is readily available?
Or is more troubleshooting required?
This weekend will be the only "free" time I will have in the next 3 to 4 weeks so I need to spend my time wisely.
Any and all help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
