Abarth 500 don´t react to throttle (what means throttle position %?)

Post by hno3 » 21 Oct 2021, 06:10

Hello all,


I was asked by my friend to help him with solving problems with his Abarth 500.

It has problems to start without touching gas pedal, however I touch the pedal, the start isnt good and engine runs roughly and dont react to gas pedal position .. sometimes yes, sometimes no..


Generaly it has problems to even idle (acc. to MES around 500rpm) , Ecu shows no error codes and based on two short logs we assumed, that it has faulty throttle body /motor (it even doesn´t sound healthy - we think, that its some emchanical failure in it...)

I would like to ask what Throttle position % in MES means .. its unclear for me and this parameter only shows wery erratic values...

I attached two short logs we loaded during engine run, and we tried to shortly blip the throttle to increase engine speed...


so I would like to ask if someone would see there something not normal..
