TD4 2004 throttle dead after clutch change

HI All,
New to the forum great resource.
I noticed this post

I recently replaced the clutch on my freelander 1, 2 litre td4. As part of the job I had to remove the inlet manifold. After the job was done I put the inlet manifold back & reconnected everything. The engine is now very lumpy on tickler and even with the throttle flat on the floor it won't rev at all. Also the heater pipes are red hot within two minutes of starting it up and the metal breather pipe in front of the lhf wheel, is blowing hot air and is also hot. It appears through the front bumper. I'm at a total loss as to what is causing this. Please help.

I have had a very similar issue, Throttle is non responsive after a clutch slave cyliner change, a pig of a job. It starts and idles but nothing from the throttle when depressed.

I have the following fault codes

P0120 Pedal travel sensor 1
P0190 Rail Pressure Sensor
P1255 Delivery Fuel Pressure Sensor
P1E60 Supply Voltage Pedal Pos2 Del Pressure

All worked wonderfully prior to clutch/Gear box removal (in its life has had a new HP fuel pump and auxiliary less than 20,000 Miles. now on 161k Miles

Any thoughts appreciated, not sure if I might of snagged a cable around starter motor area on removal but was careful.

I have changed the throttle pedal and no change! I didn't think it would just die like that!

Cheers Nick

Hi,

You certaintly missed something.

All fuilds are good and at the right level ?

For the codes, if you try to start with an unpluged sensor, you will have the code no matter if you reconnect it again.

Many Thanks for your reply, only sensors that were unplugged were the speed sensor and reverse light switch on gearbox and the pressure switch plug on the end of the fuel rail, 2 litres of gearbox oil and 2 litres of ird oil. I cleared the codes (Snap on Ethos reader,may need lr one) and they came straight back, and fore sure I have missed something, may take inlets off and starter to look at loom and check in that area. Thanks again

Is the rail sensor connection clean? These are known to corroded giving odd running faults.
The heater getting hot is an odd one. Is the fuel burning heater running all the time?

Hi Chaps,
Well you live and learn, went to the pressure sensor on the fuel rail and it is connected to a boost map box that plugs directly to the loomand then to the rail, this dually taken out of the system and and codes cleared and voila! ECU will not clear the codes with this plugged in, Cleared codes all good, revs freely from pedal, plugged box back in and all good too!! Hope this helps others too, cheers.
