QUOTE=Phil2016;14696354]Hello I know I am knew to the forum but I am having some issues with my mk4 golf petrol 1.6, 16v.
When I turn on the car as seen in the video it idles and jumps up and down a bit without me touching the accelerator.
When I push the accelerator down you can see it jumps up to idling between 1000-1100 revs.
The accelerator is unresponsive otherwise not reving above 1100 revs with my foot to the floor.
ECU light is on the dashboard
Due to an electrical fault its difficult for any mechanic to read the ECU as it gives multiple errors, but I have been suggested by an AA member that its a simple electrical fault. Any help would be great, thanks!
Video (Turn video volume up to hear the fault, I put my foot on the accelerator when the rev counter increases to 1100)
UPDATE:
Okay so the DTC codes that I got after using a scanner I purchased online are:
P0638
P0170
P0638 P
I don't really understand why there is a third one with a P at the end.
My mechanic who already replaced the accelerator pedal (which did not resolve the issue) also claimed that the throttle body was fine so I am not sure where to go from here.
Any help would be great. Thank you.
