Expert!! I need your help!

When I start the engine, the rpm is reaching to 6/7/8 k right away even though I don’t press the accelerator.

After disconnecting the battery, it starts very calm as normal. But in few minutes, rpm is reaching to 4k and more. I scared so I turned off the engine.

Please help me. Is this throttle body or it sensor problem?

2009 Land Rover LR2 with 12k miles.
Recently, I cleaned the solenoid valve because of P0012 code.

 

To confirm, did you also 'clean' the TB? Hard to tell but I'd try removing the sensor(s) and reinstalling it. Replace it if it's no go.

 

Thank you for your tip!
Excuse my stupidity. I am sharing my story with you.
For, my confession might help you to widen your mechanical horizon.
I found my new weather-tech floor mat covering the accelerator since I installed it in the dark condition.
When I tried to get my car in the garage, I was able to press the brake but I couldn't feel the accelerator paddle.
So I realized that the accelerator was covered by the floor mats.

Thank you all the time!

 

 

Haha

 

I like this forum but sometimes it feels like we laugh at the wrong moment.

BYWISDOM1610 - thanks for sharing your story it is an excellent example of why we need more background information and I appreciate your honesty


Someone can fact check me but I believe it was a Toyota or Lexus that had a floor mat problem that resulted is vehicles crashing and I believe fatalities.

For my Wife's 3 series the mats are held in place with Velcro pads and I got a code for a accelerator pedal problem and when I saw the mat touching the pedal I added more Velcro and when that only worked for a couple of months then she lost her matt (I removed it)

I do understand the the root cause was how she would get out of the car but even when I told her about it she couldn't stop long term so I did what I did and I would do it again.

I seem to remember that the BMW ECU set a code because the pedal wasn't getting back to zero and then I moved the matt and the code never came back but because it is me I made sure that the matt was 10 mm or 1/2 an inch or a fingers width away from the pedal and I would check it periodically. The third time that I found it touching the pedal (not displacing, no code set, only touching) I removed it.

This is just my $0.02

Take care
