2008 Vauxhall Zafira B 1.9 diesel INTERMITTENT accelerator throttle pedal failure P1120 P1122

My Zafira will randomly shut down while driving and then after an hour it will start again but run like crap. I can drive maybe 5km and it will stop. I don't have any diagnostic tools so I used the trick where you step on the brake and gas pedal and turn on the ignition. The car then spat out all the fault codes. I got P1120, P0335 and P0087. The 0335 is the crank sensor which I already changed. For the P1120 I tried changing the gas pedal and I also did the fuse box and ECU plug cleaning as you showed in this videos. The fuse box looked like new but my ECU had 3 or 4 really corroded pins. Like there was green crystals on the pins. I cleaned all that but it still won't run right. The P0087 is too little rail pressure so I'm thinking it's the high pressure pump. I'll try changing out just the pressure sensor in the pump as that is cheaper and quicker than doing the whole pump obviously. It wouldn't surprise me though as I've now got 350k km on my car. What kind of diagnostic tool do you use? I don't mind spending a bit more as I work on a ton of cars.

Oh gosh, intermittent's are so hard to diagnose but it looks like you nailed it!

I had the week of intermittent faults Wyatt and for some reason it was very hard to replicate , the cars must got scared to come to the garage and then behave themselves 😂 cheers pal 👍

Boa Noite! Tenho esse mesmo problema, gostava só de saber é se o seu amigo/cliente voltou a ter esse problema intermitente novamente? É porque eu á quatro anos atras quando comprei o meu astra h 1.9 tive essa intermitência, limpei como voce limpou, as fichas e a caixa de fusiveis/relé e pelo menos uma vez por ano esse problema intermitente volta me a acontecer...começo a suspeitar da centralina de motor, a que fica por detrás da cava da roda que possa ter corrosão..

Greeting from Greece I am having the same symptoms on my 2004 Vectra GTS 1.9 with engine Z19DTH. I am getting the same fault codes P1120 & P1122. Could it be the same issue.

[@ianhenderson4441]

Yes lots of good information .I use Deoxit D5 .(Cleaner) it works well for me ...enjoyed the Video 👍😁

[@CarsExposed]

It sounds like a good product Ivan @pinehollowautodiagnostics swears by it , but I don't think I can get it here in the Uk although I found plenty sellers on Amazon but I don't trust amazon half of the time with products like this plenty fake stuff being sold there 👍 cheers

[@guitarsandgolfballs]

Hi, my 63 zafira b revs when pushing brake pedal, do you think it's a similar fix as throttle not revving, Great video

[@wilfredohuarcaya8945]

[@yousseftribak7835]

Helo thanks for the video. I did the same and i still have the problem, (service light and ESP turn on). i connected OBD it says cable abs front left wheel. do you have any idea about it. thank you so much.

[@romaleromali6321]

Hi, what is the name of the diagnostics tool you are using?

[@gregoriotovar3591]

Finally solved????

[@cristovaonunes4952]

Hello mate did it fix the problem?

[@scottanderson9692]

This has happened to my zafira thanks for youre help ill try it see if it works

[@yousseftribak7835]

i have just fixed this problem after suffering 6 months ,the solution is cleaning inside the accelerator pedal, and it will be done.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

Good day eh!! Tracing an intermittent fault is like trying to pick up a fork with boxing gloves!!! It ain't easy!!! LOL What you did is about all you can expect eh. Take care!!!

[@CarsExposed]

Spot on there mate perfect analogy 😂 , intermittent faults is a pain I hate it, Lets see when this one comes back I thing another fuse box will be the permanent fix 👍 cheers

[@annaw4282]

Thanks for your help!

[@TheGibby3340]

Hmmmm…bit of a sticky wicket an intermittency of this nature Igor. Maybe consider scoping the raw APP 1&2 Ref. O/P and ground as opposed to viewing the scan tool processed data should it reoccur. Hopefully yer good. Cheers Mate 👍

[@CarsExposed]

Cheers Ian a good point there , I think if happens again because is difficult to replicate to do a proper test we are going to change the fuse box and program it 👍

Ola boa tarde. Estou com o mesmo problema. Pedal nao funciona. Principalement quzndo faz frio de noite... humidade... outono... inverno. Opel zafira B de 2009

[@CarsExposed]

Bem provável de problema com corrosão na ECU ou BCM.

[@bolotacomunik]

Limpei à caixa de fusiveis... alguns contactos eletronicos n'a placa estavam com alguma corrosion. Limpei, méti tudo no sitio, e o pedal funciona.
