P1884 code? Any ideas?

Hi folks, had an issue last week with my 03 td5 revving at 1500rpm at idle in N (auto). Went back to normal on next startup.
Then today it did it again whilst driving; ie it wanted to rev at 1500rpm off the throttle. Turned off and on then ok. 2 mins later M and S flashing and no drive. Off and on back to normal. Had Hawkeye with me and am getting a transmission code of 18 p1884 CAN message throttle angle invalid intermittent.
Have i got a dodgy throttle position sensor or pedal? Any help grateful received as im on holiday with the car!
Cheers

Yes, that's the first suspect and you have to rule it out before going further cos the next scenario is a wiring issue on that circuit which can be a nightmare to trace down

Thanks sierrafery. Ill get a good used pedal and see how i go. Hopefully the pedal and tps are the issue. I had always thought it had too much travel before kicking in so wondering if its all linked. Will report back the outcome.

A good used throttle pedal has sorted this based on a 20 minute test. Car drives a tad better in terms of gear changes. Could be my imagination though!
Wasnt easiest job in the world, fiddly as. A 1/4 drive wobble plus extension and 13mm 1/4 socket is the tool for the job. One both nuts off it unclips off the plastic bracket. Loom unclips via plastic tang facing you.

Well done, we have had a spate of problems with people while on holiday. What a nightmare.
Glad you are back on the road.
