Fiesta Zetec S 1.6 TDCI 2012 - Power Problem - P2120 | Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch "D" Circuit

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with my 2012 Fiesta Zetec S 1.6 TDCI. Usually after changing gear it takes a second or two for the power to kick in, if I change gear faster the problem is more obvious. Once the power has kicked in, the delivery is smooth doesn't seem to be any further issues.

The error code and message I'm getting is:

"P2120 | Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch "D" Circuit". I've attached an image of this too.

Has anyone else has this problem or does anyone know what the issue is?

Thank you in advance for any help and please let me know if you need any more information.

    Normally it's the pedal at fault. Buy a second hand one and try it. 

    My daughters fiesta car had the same code. I cleared the code and bought a pedal off eBay. Not played up for the last few weeks. Typical.
