Agreed - if you have those plastic drip-pans as floor mats, check the real estate where the throttle pedal meets the metal, as the pedal can bind and hang under the edge of the high-wall mat under pedal-to-the-metal excessive exhiliaration events
Also, turboDiesel engines develop max power when loaded, low-rpm as well as higher rpm - the greater the loading, the greater the power development - (that's why we're addicted to driving the smokey stinky noisy beasties, eh: left foot on the brake, right foot hard into the go pedal, quickly spooling the turbo for a really baaaaad launch as the left foot side-slips the brake pedal, rear of the truck vanishing in blue\white smoke where the suddenly rapidly spinning rubber meets the pavement!) - this includes off-idle situation, where the left foot on the brake pedal is not well-coordinated with the right foot on the go pedal - in accordance with F37 and other torque management scenarios deemed necessary by DCJ managment for this little shaker, including the '06 ESP function, this can and does result in the throttle pedal warning, and, on occasion, Limp Mode - my '05 is extremely sensitive to the right-foot-don't-know-what-the-left-foot-is-doing (who, moi?!?) scenario, usually results in zero power and idle rpm only - so far, no permanent limp-mode situation requiring shut-down and restart
Also, along with the first paragraph above ^, throttle pedal position when ignition is switched ON can result in ETC, as in trying to start the engine like a gasser (patooie!) with the throttle depressed (shudder!)
Also, just fer grins'n'giggles, might check the ECM\TCM harness ground, back in there on the firewall behind the fuel manager head - clean and tighten
