Hi Dave, your car has a throttle learn facility which is used to learn the correct positioning of the throttle butterfly. For this you have to switch on and leave the accelerator for a minute and then start up. I have had a few ecus which have repeatedly lost this setting, 1 ecu had to be replaced for this problem as it became so regular. I take it you have a fault code reader which you have tried to get a code from the ecu?
