Ok, some 'progress': a) yesterday I got ~2000 rpm idle for a bit. At the same time I was able to reach 7000 rpm without limp mode enaging a couple of times, though bouncing of the limiter in neutral engages limp mode in 3 seconds. b) today the zigzag icon illuminated before I started the car...

Update: reinserting the plug a couple of times did nothing. I then went and bought some contact spray the next day and applied a liberal amount to the suspected culprit... but unfortunately no change in behaviour. @497adam no, the car idles just fine, I don't experience any issues with...
