how would i go about diagnosing and/or fixing this problem. What effects does it cause because the car feels exactly the same?

avant80: is that the Bentley manual? It looks nice and informative, and I haven't found a place local to buy one yet.

What year is your car? DBW or DBC?

EDIT: NM, I am assuming you have the drive by wire, not drive by cable since it's a throttle pedal sensor.
