Had started to exeperience what felt like a flat spot on acceleration, getting more frequent and prgressivly worse over last 3 journeys, (checked and clean MAF and MAP all good and orginal LR parts)
Today lost all throttle control and had Engine MIL light on.
Lucky i was only .5 mils from home so managed to get home on tickover / anti stall,
Once home I cycled ignition and restarted engine all good.
No fault codes stored ( using a delphi ISS) other than some randoms that relate to items i dont have ( ABS, Aircon, etc)
On sunday i was feathering the throttle trying to identify when it would happen, and certainly felt like a flat spot in the middle of the throttle which lead me to think pontentiomter issues.
i did some tests via the Delphi, and got what think are normal readings fromt he throttle pot in terms of rise and fall.
The joys of intermitant faults
Does this sound like a throttle pot going bad? or somthing else?
if ecu loses signal from throttle pot will it throw on MIL light and ignore throttle? Anti stall worked fine as i have avery steep driveway for 100 yards it climbed it just fine @sierrafery
Current thinking,
a) connection incosistancy form throttle pot to ecu
b) ECU signal generator or supply voltage issues to throttle pot
c) throttle pot on its way out
d) somthing else
