    Hi Folks,

    I bought an ex well minded reps car recently.

    Today I noticed that it doesn't have the same power as it did have. Not going over 3500rpm. Feels like its not getting the power. Really sluggish in lower gears. I can still drive it but power isn't there.

    I have 3 codes showing up:

    ECN112008 = Accelator Pedal Unit
    ECN68404 = Glow plug Circuit
    ECN21708 = Throttle actuator control performance problem

    Its going to the mechanic tomorrow. Any ideas? I really can't afford something crazy. Could it be the EGR?

    Possibly in limp mode to save car from being driven too hard and causing more issues.

    The first and second code suggests the electronic accelerator switch needs replacing.
    The second code suggests problems with the glow plugs. Does the car idle roughly on cold start in the morning?
