Hi mjr,

 

The fault code P1576 is the Accelerator position fault code  --  it could be a failed APP sensor.

 

It could be something to do with the throttle body.

 

But not being an engineer I don't know how to fix it!

 

Regards,

P 1576 is Pedal position not available. sounds to me like a sensor at the pedal end as opposed to throttle body.

It could be , Stan.  There are two codes referring to the APP and a very indeterminate answer from Fixya, but both seem to indicate a failing/failed sensor.

How ever did we manage without sensors Peter.

Stan,

 

A lump hammer, an adjustable spanner, a No. 8 stillson and a pair of pliers.
