Interestingly, since having 'mended' my F125, mine is now doing this most of the time. The first 50% of the throttle does very little, but prod it a bit further and it takes off like a rocket. It happens mostly in 1st which is very annoying, but also randomly in other gears. If I'm in town pootling around at 30 and slow down for something it'll take a hefty prod to make it move, at which point it changes down to 2nd and goes a bit nuts. Its much better behaved in tiptronic, to the point I had to tow the FE home entirely in tip otherwise it would barely move. No codes either.
Time for a new switch methinks...
