Croma Poor Start High Fuel Consumption

Hey, my 2010 Fiat Croma with a gasoline engine has started acting up. I'm seeing higher fuel consumption and it starts poorly. Thinking it might be a throttle valve issue? Anyone else experienced this?

Summary of the thread

A 2010 Fiat Croma owner is experiencing poor starting and high fuel consumption, suspecting a throttle valve issue. Another owner suggests checking the accelerator pedal module, which was the cause of similar symptoms in their vehicle. After taking the car to a mechanic, it is confirmed that the accelerator pedal module is indeed faulty, leading to its replacement.

I had something similar happen with my Croma. Have you checked the accelerator pedal module? Could be a culprit.

Interesting, hadn't thought of that. What were your symptoms exactly, and how did you figure out it was the pedal module?

Yeah, same symptoms. Rough starts and the MPG tanked. I didn't diagnose it myself, took it to a shop. They ran some diagnostics and pointed to the module being faulty.

Thanks for the tip! Took it to my mechanic, and you were spot on. Defective accelerator pedal module. Cost me 205€ to fix. Appreciate the help!
