Engine throttle seems okay at idle, but feels sluggish on acceleration. Did your Peugeot have similar symptoms before the control valve issue was confirmed? Was it a gradual thing, or did it happen suddenly?

Yeah, gradual for sure. Sluggish acceleration is spot on. Eventually, it got so bad I took it to a workshop. Honestly, I'd advise you to do the same. Could save you a headache. It might be the throttle body, but better to be sure.

Thanks for the insight. Took it to the shop, and you were right, defective accelerator pedal module, which caused the throttle valve to malfunction! Repair cost me 205€. Appreciate the help!

Whoa, sounds familiar! Had a similar problem with my old Peugeot 308. Higher fuel consumption was the first sign, then starting became a nightmare. Control valve was mentioned, but I'm no expert. Is your engine throttle acting up too?
