engine acceleration

[mick1952]

hi everyone i am new to the forum and this is my first post driving my 2003 connect today for about an hour down the motorway when i depressed the clutch the engine kept on revving as if the accelerator was stuck its a 1.8 tddi uses no oil and no water and runs well.switched engine off then restarted and everything was ok anybody got any ideas.
thanks mick

aye up sounds like your accelerator pedal is on its way out common fault on these fly by wire jobbys. last time i bought one it was around the 50 odd quid mark. easy to fit though.

2 or 3 10mm (I think) nuts holding the pedal on and the multiplug, simple job
