Expand. Once you start the car the RPM goes up and down, the throttle does not respond when a press it.
I have use ista to check the wirings from dme to throttle body and throttle pedal there where no cut.

When I use ista or INPA the pedal potentiometer signal read which show it work and once I start car the rpm jumps. But once I use INPA to realign the pedal potentiometer through DSC the rpm become normal and pedal works fine but once I shut the car and restart it goes back to how it was before.

Hi,

Wow, that's a list. By chance, do you have the P codes? My manual provides multiple P codes for the manufacturer's codes you provided. Each one takes me in a different direction. See pic 1

Also, have you checked the differential pressure sensor (pic 2)?

Let me know.

Hi,

It sounds like it loses power when the ignition is turned off. By chance, do you have the P codes?

Let me know.
