Hi, thanks for the feedback and the reference to the accelerator pedal module! Would you happen to remember how much the repair cost in your case? And did the problem occur again after the accelerator pedal module was replaced or since then? It would be great if you had more information. Best regards!

Hello, after I visited my mechanic, the problem with the fault in the throttle valve was resolved. It didn't show up again after the repair, so everything is fine there. As for the cost of repairing the accelerator pedal module, I can tell you that it cost me €205. So it definitely wasn't a bargain, but my car ran smoothly again afterwards. Since then, the problem has not recurred. I hope this helps you. Greetings!

Hello, I had similar symptoms with my Opel Astra (built in 2012, petrol engine) a few years ago. The check engine light came on and it also ran erratically. In my case, it was a defective accelerator pedal module. That was a serious problem because it affected the entire engine control system. However, the throttle valve was not the problem in my case. It wasn't a simple repair, the pedal module had to be completely replaced. But after that, my car ran like new again. I recommend that you go to a mechanic and have the accelerator pedal module checked. Maybe this is also the cause. Greetings!
