Thanks for the detailed response! Engine idling is a bit rough sometimes. Regarding the error codes, I haven't had them read yet, but will do that asap. If it's indeed the throttle position sensor, would that also explain the air flow being off?

An erratic air flow and a faulty throttle position sensor are often intertwined. The sensor provides crucial data to the engine control unit (ECU) for managing the air-fuel mixture. If the sensor is defective, the ECU receives incorrect data, leading to improper air flow and, consequently, reduced engine performance. Given the symptoms and mileage, a visit to a workshop for proper diagnostics is highly recommended. The accelerator pedal module needs testing.

Appreciate the confirmation! Took it to the shop, and you were spot on. Accelerator pedal module was indeed defective. Replaced it for 265€ and all seems good now!

Indeed, those symptoms strongly suggest a problem within the throttle body or its control system. Has the engine idling been erratic, or have you noticed any delay in response when pressing the accelerator? The check engine light is a crucial indicator; have you had the error codes read to pinpoint the issue further? A fault in the throttle position sensor can often trigger these symptoms.
