A 2003 1.4 petrol with its MIL on and limping along in limp mode came by recently.
Connecting lexia was only slightly helpful until the software was updated to a later version because ECU wasn't recognised
citroen-c3-tips/lexia-and-obd-diagnosti ... -t655.html
Fault detected was Permanent fault Throttle position copy P1161
Swapping the pedal out did allow the fault to clear, but didn't bring a fault on the donor. Swapping the pedals back allowed the code to clear, so it looks like there was a connection problem at the TPS.
Live data from Lexia tool shows the pedal operating, which looks ok, but a replacement (on ebay) are only about £15 to £20, it could be worth just changing it in the near future.
