Vauxhall Astra limp mode/loss of revs
Variant: 1.7dti
Model Year: 2008
Categories:
Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
Hi my car suddenly went into limp mode, had it on diagnostic turned out the fault codes were for acc pedal sensor, so this was replaced.
A week later goes into limp mode I did the two pedal test and codes 2252 & 2052 came up, took it to the garage that did the repair and their diagnostic just says it's the pedal fault. I've done some research and the codes above relate to injectors am I correct.
Anybody had any similar issues if so how did you resolve them.
Thanks

Check this on same fault ,
" For the last time I will say this. If you have a fault code for the accelerator pedal, you check the readings on live data. How simple is that? Then, if the readings are correct, you send the ECU off for repair because the ecu is not processing the information correctly, to one of the many specialised repairers to test. Then, if it is found to be faulty they will either repair it or sell you a new one. The end.
" Completely Agree, If there was a a code for pedal or throttle body and it goes into limp mode when the engine warms up 99.99% ECU "

Majority of people would say that its an ecu problem but iv realised that this isnt. Remove the EUC (Fusebox under bonnet) and go over with it with a hair dryer for a few minutes and clear the contacts.
The problem seems to be water is getting inside or condensation, I Had this on my own Astra and since doing the above it hasn't done it in 2 years. A lot of people go down the route of changing throttle body and the accelerator pedal to no avail. I have given this advice to a dozen people so far and it seems to have cured there problems for the above code.
just to make you aware in future to find out the codes follow the video bellow.
