Grandland X Accelerator Pedal Module

I had similar symptoms – rough starting and higher fuel consumption – on my old Volvo V70. In my case, the engine idle was erratic too. Have you checked the accelerator pedal module? A defective accelerator pedal module was the culprit for my Volvo V70. Have you scanned for any error codes?

Accelerator pedal module, eh? Interesting. No error codes showed up on my basic OBD scanner. Where exactly is that module located, and how can I check it?

Given the absence of error codes, further diagnostics may prove challenging. The accelerator pedal module typically resides near the pedal assembly within the passenger compartment. However, I strongly suggest consulting a qualified technician, as attempting repairs without proper expertise could potentially exacerbate the issue and lead to further complications. For my Volvo I went to the workshop.

Workshop it is. Turns out it was indeed the accelerator pedal module. New one fitted, cost me 205€. Runs like a dream now. Thanks for the heads up!
