my Skoda Octavia NFL (2020-Present) throttle response is slow what could be wrong

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off.
• Disconnect the battery to prevent electrical shorts.

2. Clean Throttle Body

• Tools Required: Throttle body cleaner, soft cloth, screwdriver set.
• Remove the air intake duct leading to the throttle body.
• Spray throttle body cleaner into the throttle body while opening the throttle plate manually to clean both sides.
• Wipe clean with a soft cloth to remove residue.

3. Replace Air Filter

• Tools Required: Socket set.
• Locate the air filter housing and remove it using the appropriate sockets or screws.
• Remove the old air filter and install a new, clean air filter.
• Reassemble the air filter housing securely.

4. Check and Replace Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor

• Tools Required: Multimeter, socket set.
• Disconnect the electrical connector from the accelerator pedal position sensor.
• Use a multimeter to test the resistance across the sensor terminals according to the specifications in the service manual.
• If the readings are outside specifications, replace the sensor with a new one and reconnect.

5. Test Fuel Pressure

• Tools Required: Fuel pressure gauge.
• Locate the fuel rail pressure test port and connect the fuel pressure gauge.
• Turn the ignition on (do not start the engine) and check the fuel pressure reading against manufacturer specifications.
• If pressure is low, inspect the fuel pump and replace if necessary.

6. Reassemble and Reconnect

• Reassemble any components that were removed during the repair process.
• Reconnect the battery terminals securely.
