Ducato Electric Engine Power Loss
Summary of the thread
A 2022 Fiat Ducato with an electric engine experienced significant power loss and a check engine light, leading to suspicions of a defective throttle valve. The issue was confirmed to be related to the throttle valve, which was causing erratic idling and increased fuel consumption. After consulting a mechanic and replacing the faulty throttle valve, the vehicle's performance returned to normal.

Thank you for your swift response! Indeed, the engine idling does seem somewhat erratic, and I've noticed a slight increase in fuel consumption as well. Could you perhaps elaborate on the specific symptoms you experienced and any diagnostic steps you took to pinpoint the throttle body as the source of the problem? Did it put the van into limp mode?

Yep, limp mode is exactly what happened. I didn't do much diagnosing myself, to be honest. I just took it straight to the shop. They confirmed it was the throttle valve needing replacement. It's probably best to get it checked professionally before you start replacing parts.

I am profoundly grateful for your invaluable guidance. Based on your experiences, I shall promptly schedule an appointment with a reputable mechanic to conduct a thorough inspection of the throttle valve. Following your suggestion, I visited a workshop and they confirmed that I have a defective throttle valve. After replacing it for 265€ everything works fine again. Thank you again!

Sounds familiar. I had similar issues with my Ducato. Check engine light and sluggish performance. Is the engine idling rough? It could be the throttle body getting gunked up, messing with the air intake.
