Maverick high fuel consumption rough start

I'm having some issues with my 2004 Ford Maverick with a gasoline engine. I've noticed my fuel consumption has gone up significantly, and it's also starting pretty rough. The mileage is at 150507 km. I'm thinking it might be related to the throttle valve being defective. Any ideas?

A 2004 Ford Maverick is experiencing high fuel consumption and rough starting, potentially due to a defective throttle valve. Another individual suggests checking the accelerator pedal module, as it was the cause of similar issues in their vehicle. After professional evaluation, the accelerator pedal module is identified as the problem and replaced, resolving the issues.

I had a similar problem with my old Renault Megane. Higher fuel consumption and poor starting were the first signs. Have you checked the accelerator pedal module? That was the culprit in my case.

Accelerator pedal module, huh? I hadn't considered that. How did you confirm that was the issue?

Well, I initially suspected the control valve but after testing the throttle position sensor and checking for any engine idle issues, the workshop told me that the accelerator pedal module was faulty. It's worth getting it checked professionally to be sure.

Thanks for the insight! I'll take it to a workshop, as you suggested. Turns out it was indeed the accelerator pedal module. Got it replaced for 205€. Runs like a charm now.
