Clio Sport - Multiple fault codes - Thinking earth problem?

[Neil Jemima]

Hi there
I have a Clio Sport. It's displaying numerous codes:
DF024, DF129 (PEDAL POTENTIOMETER CIRCUIT, incoherence between pedal track 1 and track 2), DF135, DF235, DF152, DF076, DF066.
The symptoms are that when you're driving along, the wiring light comes on and the car goes into limp mode. Switch ignition off for a second and the throttle response comes back, light goes out and everything's fine again for a couple of moments or much longer sometimes.
There's no regularity to the fault, thinking it could be an earth to these circuits?
Have visually checked the connections that I can see. Nothing obvious.
Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Welcome aboard.
Where are you based & which Clio?
A trip to Mick at Diamond Motors in Long Eaton might prevent you pulling your hair out,if your not too far away.
This topic has many threads on here,so Google clio limp mode as the search engine on here does not always pick them up.
Corroded wiring is a frequent cause,usually in the area of the large white plug in the engine bay fuse box.

It's a 2005 Clio Sport 182. Thank you for that tip. I'm in Kent, 4 hours from Long Eaton!

If you cannot find someone local,make it a day out.
I spent more than 8 unsuccessfull hours trying to track it down,and the previous owner threw a brand new pedal & throttle body at it to no avail.
Mick was straight on it,and sorted it while I had some lunch & then walked my dog.

Nice of him to walk your dog.
