throttle problem daf CF 360 2004?

Throttle cuts out intermitantly,engine warning light (yellow)with number 1 has flashed twice.I have fitted a new pedal & cleaned around the brake pedal as i am told this can sometimes cut the throttle out. Will lose throttle at various revs. Happens when truck is still or moving. Truck goes as it should for a while & then no throttle, flick it & away we go again .Can someone please help ,i will then get a credit note for the £300 pedal that i may not need to buy. You good people may like to know Daf wanted, £25 to answer this Q, £400 to drive 35 miles to my depo & diagnose .£800 to fit a wiring loom if needed & two arms a leg & a pint of blood if it got any more serious,why i run a £75000.00 truck & only charge £35 p/hr, _ _ _ _ knows ,its because i am not a mecanic i suppose ,anyway thanx for listening.

Would be interested to know which DAF dealer quoted £400 to drive 35 miles and diagnose. Are you sure? DAFaid rate is less than that. Perhaps they quoted a silly amount to attend because the can't be arsed with you? You are talking credit notes for the pedal, so you have obviously already bought it, what with you being a DAF diagnosis expert. My guess is you have wiring rubbed through somewhere. PS you might be interested to know the diagnostic computer they will be using costs the dealer 15 grand, so why should they tell you what the fault is for nothing?

Sick of tight arses wanting everyone else to subsidise their business.
