Is there a simple way to test this? Guessing it was easier to do with a cable operated throttle but fly by wire probably drives a servo motor.

Thanks

just take the air inlet hose off and with ignition off press open the flap it will rotate the motor against a spring , just make sure its smooth and closes smoothly , they can get very stiff , the motor compensates for a while but then gives up completely when it gets too stiff to move ..
