Sister a Ford Escort what would do this. I checked everything. Had the brain read, checked, tested, reset, retested.
Nothing.
Nowt.
Zip.
All sort of fault codes, chased them down. still nothing.
One day, escaping her boring husband I was poking round and the "throttle position sensor" wires with showing signs of over temp. Changed that.
All Good.
Or was it?
No, dawag it.
Throttle cable sensor burnt out, replaced and noticed the throttle cable was stiff, investigation showed it had over heated.
Replaced it, with new, no good ones in breakers. VW polo's had a similar issue with the engine to body earth going high resistance.
Replaced that, cleaned up the bolt holes.
No more issues.
