Yes. The car will not accelerate if you also press the brake. It will also log a fault code for it! I tried it once for a laugh.
It doesn’t sound like the OP’s issues though you never know

Could be EGR's failing.
Yep. Flap not closing when acceleration detected.Quote:

Logging live values is the key.
Edit: I knew of a TDV6 D3 whose engine would stop if reversing at other than idle. I suspected a broken wire or bad connection to the crankshaft position sensor but neither the owner nor I had the time to properly investigate. Getting stuck ascending a sand dune meant a snatch was required!
