Crider Reduced Engine Power

Whoa, reduced power and a check engine light on a Crider Hybrid? Sounds like limp mode to me, and yeah, a dodgy throttle valve could be the culprit. I remember back when I had a similar issue with my old Civic – turned out to be a faulty air flow sensor messing with the air intake and fuel efficiency. Before you panic, have you checked the basics, like the air filter and any obvious wiring issues around the throttle body? Also, any weird smells or noises when it happens? Just trying to rule out the easy stuff before you go diving into the deep end.

Thanks for the quick response! I did a quick visual inspection and didn't spot anything obvious with the air filter or wiring. No weird smells or noises either. You mentioned air flow – could a dirty throttle body cause these symptoms, even without any other noticeable signs?

Yep, a dirty throttle body can definitely cause those symptoms, even if you don't see or hear anything else. Think of it like a clogged artery – restricted air flow throws everything off. However, given the '22 Crider is relatively new and you suspect the accelerator pedal module itself, it's probably best to get it checked out by a professional. Messing with the throttle valve electronics can be tricky, and you don't want to make it worse. They'll have the diagnostic tools to pinpoint the exact problem and give you a proper quote. It might sting a bit, but at least you'll know for sure. Just brace yourself, replacement cost on those parts can be a little spicy!

Appreciate the advice! Took it to the shop, and you were right – defective accelerator pedal module. Repair cost was 265€. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction!
