Fault Codes P0221 & P1521

[Alan_M]

Set of on my morning school run, and completely out of nowhere the EML popped up ( Well, they popped up pulling away from traffic lights - not a hard pull away).

Ran Planet on it and P0221 (Pedal Sensor) & P1521 (Clutch Sensor) came up. Not really sure what to make of them to be honest. They both cleared and haven't come back after a quick drive up the road. I mean, what purpose does the clutch sensor serve? Pedal Sensor I'm guessing is the MAP sensor.

Opinions?

Maybe this will help with Fault Code P0221:

As above, these engines don't have a map sensor.

Clutch switch is for idle control iirc, a knackered one can cause the engine to cut out when the clutch pedal is dipped, don't think it serves any other purpose on the 306.

Shafted TPS and possibly shafted clutch switch.

Clutch switch I've never really seen cause a problem, but TPS is fairly common.

In neutral blip the throttle a couple times - take note of the throttle response

then hold the clutch down and do the same - again note the throttle response.

When the clutch is down, throttle response is sharper. Well it is on my 2.0 206 estate
