Electrical Warning Light

[Beef-Mc]

Car doesn't respond but will rev to 2K and stay there without me touching the pdeal, have to restart the engine and rev the car a couple of times to clear it.
Previously solved this by removing the anti-theft thing from the block and covering it in tape to prevent it chomping through the loom.

Now the car's been in for it's clutch to be replaced and it's started again, any idea's what could have happened to be causing this again?

Cheers

shanner!!

Limp mode?

 

[Beef-Mc]

Nah car won't even respond to the throttle in any gear, just sits at 2K and doesn't do anything but that.

do a ross.m

do a ross.m

What? Get someone to steal it and burn it out?

Rather fix it and sell it on.

throttle pedal assembly ? (if yours isnt cable that is)

 

[Beef-Mc]

I'm thinking that it would be cable throttle, 51 plate 1.2.

 

[gsums]

Dont think its cable

Clios are a nightmare sometimes

Open the bonnet and look at the Body if it has a stupid black lump on it its Fly By Wire im sure the Ph2s were all Fly by wire

 

[Beef-Mc]

If it is the throttle pedal assembly, what would need replaced on it? And why would it cause the EWL to come on?

hi. youre problems dont coincide with filling up at the petrol station do they, as i have had the same light, n ive been told that it was water in my petrol, down to condensation cos of the freezing conditions, n ive noticed alot of people on here with the very same light n probs, it could be a possible cause of everyones misery.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Nope car was filled up last week and was driving fine till the clutch went, only doing it intermittently now.

 

[BioHzrd]

Just trade it in n get your 1*2

 

[Beef-Mc]

Just trade it in n get your 1*2

It's getting very tempting tbh.

 

[BioHzrd]

f**k temptation and do it !!!

 

[Beef-Mc]

Clip Machine has came back with these five faults:

Brake pedal sensor circuit, signal incoherence
Water temperature sensor circuit, signal incoherence
Throttle unit automatic control, incoherence between throttle position and control
Pedal potentiometer circuit track 1, signal detected outside upper and lower limit
Throttle angle memory sensor, short circuit to +12v

Which one of them is most likely to be causing the problem??

 

[BioHzrd]

"Its French"

 

[Beef-Mc]

I was expecting there to be a few more problems stored!

 

[Beef-Mc]

Someone in another thread suggested that there light was due to a combination of the brake pedal sensor and the throttle unit control.

COULD IT BE THAT?

 

[Andres_172]

In my car pass the same thing.

I check the ecu with the Rstuner and it was the TPS sensor.

I change the Throttle and no more problem.


clean the sensors that it goes in the pedal and change de throthle and your car must run without a problem

Youve probably fixed this by now but thought id put a post up so if anyone searches it may be of help. This happened on my PH1 172 sport, intermittantly the revs would drop and the car wouldnt accelerate, revs would hold at 2000rpm and had to limp home. The PH2 has an electronic throttle body, remove the electrical connector from the back of it and check if there is a clip for the connector to attach on (usually just a small plastic lip) if this isnt there you had the same problem as me. I simply checked all my connections to be sure, whacked some electrical contact cleaner in the plug, pushed it back on tight and put a metal clip around it to ensure it didnt move. Never happened since. Theyr french and tempremental dont forget.......
