Hallo Saulius.
Your problem is probably due to the connector of the pedal sensor to the ECU.
This connector is unstable time after time and causes interruption of the signals from the pedal sensor.
The solution has been discussed in this forum for many times................(searching for: "sensore pedale acceleratore-connettore pedale acceleratore")
The connector is located behind the passenger tray of the dushboard (for italian guide position of driver on the right..............) and the solution is the direct connession of wires BYPASSING the plastic connector.
The plastic connector is white and is to be abolished.
To reach it is necessary to dismantle the passenger tray, and searching for the connectors among the bundle of cables under the inner of dushboard.
All this it's no more difficult if you have time (about 3 hours for all work complete).
After the connection, before remantle the tray, you must test the functionality of the pedal by a road test.
The red "engine" lamp in the panel is to be off only after the work, and after road test it must'nt be light!!!!!!
In any case, if the road test is ok, to turn off the lamp, it's necessary cancel the memorized error in ECU by an official Fiat Lancia garage.
You could talk about this solution to your mechanic......................and try to sell the other 2 sensors by E-BAY.......................................
Tell me the results of the operation.
Bye.

ok I'll try this..... Congratulations from Lithuania this is Lithuanian Lancia club www.lanciaklubas.com
