Hi

My Q7 has recently started to rev on its own and was wandering if anyone has come across this before.
Starts ok and idles fine until i press the accelerator.

Symptoms: revs up and down as if someone is actually pressing the accelerator intermittently.

it smokes a lot (brownish colour).

and while driving at low speeds it feels like its going to stall but it doesn't.

it has very limited power.

i can post a vid of the revving if that helps.

thanks in advance

N.B the car has had its EGR Valve removed (before i bought it) and mapped out.
