Hi folks,

On my way to Brighton today circa 100 miles, at about 45miles into the journey I was cruising on the M25 when suddenly I noticed the car would sound extremely rough if pressed the throttle pedal to half open throttle.

If I feather it lightly it will cruise normally. Half throttle, sees the car bog down, sound rough, has zero power.
When I give it WOT the power returns after a certain RPM, say 3000+

From about 1000 to 3000 on half throttle the car is not happy, in any gear, also forces me to change down a gear more as it sounds like it wants to stall at certain rpms!

Spoke to Matt who thinks it sounds like the throttle position sensor on its last legs?

Anyone else also experienced this?

I pulled into cobham services, pulled the TPS sensor plug off, no change in the idle of the car.

Reconnected it, and drove the rest of the day with none of the symptoms above, car was fine - im confused!

Cheers

Sorry, I revved it when the TPS was unplugged but it sounded normal to me.

When I unplugged the map, the car died so I know that's working.

The ICV is in need of replacement as it does die a fair bit when stopping and coming upto junctions but I cant see it causing any of the power/running issues above

Bogs down completely, theres nothing there when I give it half throttle but clears after I pressing pedal to the metal

Strange that it behaved itself for the rest of the day though

I don't know if this is related but when coming off the throttle/going onto the overrun its been jerky for the last couple of months, almost like the engine mount is fooked, but I don't think it is
