Sounds like a bad throttle position sensor..

does your car have a pedal sensor, or throttle body sensor, or both?
Try spraying wd40 into the sensor; if it helps, then its probably wear in sensor.

There is a possibility there's moisture in the wiring also. seems to be fairly common..!

Ive took out the body and cleaned it
The scan did say about signal low at throttle pedal
Reading on the skoda forums there is mention of coolant leaking from a sensor or switch and wicking into cables also possibility of water or such entering the ecu, i just popped in here to see if any of the regulars have seen this.
I am loosing a tiny amount of coolant but nothing drastic.
Also mention of a map/maf sensor but having difficulty locating it on the BAC engine.
Thanks for the input
