Hello, The error code 0028A0 is related to the throttle valve actuator. It could be that the actuator is not functioning properly, which could cause the car to stall on start up. I would recommend having the throttle valve actuator checked by a professional. Please keep us updated on your progress.

Do you mean the throttle body is it worth cleaning it out or changing it

Yes, the throttle body is what I'm referring to. Cleaning it could potentially resolve the issue if it's just dirty or sticky. However, if the throttle body is failing, it will need to be replaced. A malfunctioning throttle body could potentially let in too much or too little air, which could cause the symptoms you're experiencing. Please keep us updated on your progress.

If you're noticing a change in the feel of the pedal, it could indeed be related to the throttle body. I would recommend having it inspected and cleaned as a first step. If the issue persists, you may need to consider replacing it. Please keep us updated on your progress.
