I have a 2001 VW New Beetle. Recently it threw an EPC light and MIL with error codes for the Throttle Position Sensor so I replaced the accelerator pedal assembly with a Hella unit. (It's drive by wire rather than cable if that matters.)
Since then I have this unclearable error:
It seems to want a throttle body adaptation, but I can't do it without clearing this code. Every time I clear codes, it comes back. I even tried disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes, to no avail.
Driving the car for a bit results in Throttle Position Sensor error codes, and eventually it goes into "limp" mode under which it has next to no power.
Car was in a collision at the beginning of March, but I got it back from the body shop about a month ago and I'd been driving it around with no signs that anything was amiss.
Any suggestions here before I throw in the towel and take it to a repair shop? Thanks.
