AX Throttle Fault - Guru-Meditation

Anyone got any ideas where to start with this one? A friend has an AX 1.0 'K' plate. It broke down and had to be towed-the fault is this (this info is second hand from the AA man to her to me so apologies for the vagueness). The car will idle but apparently when the throttle is pressed the engine won't run properly, it chugs and misfires making it undriveable. The AA man apparently said something to do with some switch or something in the throttle. I don't know much about AX's and I haven't even had a look at the car. I don't even know if it is carbed or injected although if we are talking about throttle position switches or whatver then it must be injected.

Any ideas?

Once again apologies for the poor info, it's not much to go on I know! Thanks.
