Jumpy Electric throttle issue

Anyone else had throttle issues with their 2023 Citroen Jumpy Electric? I've got 120k on the clock and the check engine light popped on, with a noticeable drop in power. Feels like it's stuck in limp mode. Suspect it's the accelerator pedal module or some internal electronics failing.

Sounds familiar! Had a similar thing happen with my old Renault Scenic, though it was a petrol engine. Reduced power and the check engine light were exactly the same. Did you notice any change in how the engine idles? Or maybe a lag when you press the accelerator?

Yeah, the engine idling seems a bit rougher than usual, now that you mention it. And there's definitely a delay when I hit the accelerator. Did you manage to sort it out yourself, or did you end up taking it to a shop?

I tried a few things myself, but honestly, it was beyond my skill level. Ended up taking it to a garage. Turned out to be a faulty sensor in the throttle body. Cost a bit to replace, but it sorted the problem right out. Probably best to get it checked professionally.

Thanks for the info! I appreciate the help. Took it in, and you were spot on – throttle valve was defective. Ended up costing 265€ for the replacement. Runs like new again.
