Interesting. Yes, fuel efficiency has definitely taken a hit, and limp mode is a good way to describe it. How did you resolve your issue? Was it a simple fix, or did it require more extensive work?

In my case, it persisted despite trying some basic troubleshooting. I ended up taking it to a workshop where they diagnosed it properly. It's always best to get a professional opinion, right? They replaced some faulty components. It sounds very similar to what you are experiencing. Better safe than sorry.

Thanks for the insight and advice! I appreciate you sharing your experience. I've taken it to a trusted mechanic who confirmed the throttle valve was defective. It ended up costing me 265€, but at least it is sorted now.

That sounds frustrating! I have an EMehari too, and a while back I experienced almost the exact same thing: reduced power and the check engine light. Was your fuel efficiency also impacted? Did it feel like it was stuck in some kind of limp mode? It could indeed be a throttle issue, maybe the throttle body needing a clean or the throttle sensor acting up.
