Have checked the pedal everything okay reading on my tester.
Leading evidence: 'Check pedal everything okay reading' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'rodant damage in the passenger side firewall bundle' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Check accelerator pedal and the pedal sensor' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Hi folks Haven�t used the car for a few weeks now struggling to start and won�t idle have cleaned throttle body and maf but still have these codes I can�t hear anything in the engine bay when I try the throttle procedure.

I would appreciate any pin out information I�ve checked most of the wiring over that I can see no sign of any damage just need to access the main module I�m pretty sure there is no power going to the throttle body.

ive tried the maf connected and disconnected no difference the only way I can get to start the car on a rough idle is to open the throttle body slightly by hand.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Outcome without a verified action link
update on the fault after a few hours tracing wires I found a bad connection on one of the multi plugs in the engine compartment looked fine so I cleaned with electrical spray and closed the pin up and it worked.
Hi folks Haven�t used the car for a few weeks now struggling to start and won�t idle have cleaned throttle body and maf but still have these codes I can�t hear anything in the engine bay when I try the throttle procedure. Have also tried new battery. Thanks
Just to be clear we want u to start the car with the maf unpluged. It will put the dme in a defualt mode and take the maf tuning out of the equation. Just want to verify that u started the car with it unpluged and its similar?
Also we can assume that u own a 996 but u have given us no other info. Year, milage, aftermarket engine tune or power adders, trans? As it all may matter.
One more thing to look for as its mice season is chewed wires. They like to get into the bulk head harness, pass side where it comes through the firewall.
Hi
sorry the car is a 2004 3.6 996 cab
ive tried the maf connected and disconnected no difference the only way I can get to start the car on a rough idle is to open the throttle body slightly by hand.
I know you shouldn�t do that but it�s the only way car will start.
Just off the top of my head (didnt google the code) i would say there is a tb issue and its either the wiring or the tb itself. I would search for a pin out so u can see if u have a bad wire leedjng into the tb. Will your scanner graph the idle air controler, tb position and fuel pedal position? These graphs will show how the tb responds to the signal input.
Also look up the proceedure for throttle position calibration. It takes 2 minutes and might soive this
Hi
It seems there is no power to throttle body tried relearn manually and also my scanner but does nothing will try and find pin voltages for throttle body to test or is there an easier way.
Thanks
No easier way other then to pay someone else. U will want to back pin the dme plug and check continuity to the tb plug. I suspect rodant damage in the passenger side firewall bundle. U may want to get a flashlight and mirror in there or an endoscope.
Lmk if u need a pin out i can look it up this evening.
Hi
Thanks for the reply
I need to access the module I believe it�s behind the lower convertable roof section behind the back seat.
I would appreciate any pin out information I�ve checked most of the wiring over that I can see no sign of any damage just need to access the main module I�m pretty sure there is no power going to the throttle body.
Its not helping with the car stuck outside and constantly raining.
will try to get throttle body back off tomorrow and see if I can power the motor up I have a variable power supply at least it will rule that out.
im suspecting the worse ecu faulty.
You have an e-gas system. Check your accelerator pedal and the pedal sensor. Make sure it didn't get knocked loose.

It was a bit damp inside the car but I believe the only module inside is for the alarm located under the seat which works fine.
I need to access the main ecu to check for any damage just need to locate it I believe it�s under the rear of the folding roof.
Thanks
Hi Folks

A pain to get to and work on but just about managed to get my hands in
Thank you all for your input.
