This could be a number of things but we need to start with finding out if there are codes as this could be just a throttle body issue but if there is a sensor or even a pedal issue, I suspect we will have some codes.

If there are no codes, then we need to find out if you have an electronic throttle or a cable.

We don't have a manual on this specific vehicle as it is not offered here in the USA, but I am attaching the info below on a sister vehicle which has an electronic throttle. So that means when you press the throttle, there is a sensor that tells the PCM how much it is being pressed and it then move the throttle plate via a voltage signal.

If you have the same system, then there should be some codes. If not, then you will have a cable and we need to make sure that is still attached.

Please run through this and let us know what you find. Thanks
