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!

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