Thanks Duke,

I checked with an ohmmetre the switch and I am not sure it is OK.
The switch behaves like and resistance readings were like this:
at idle: contact between 1 and 2 on connector,
between idle and full opening: sometimes hesitation on reistance reading,
change at almost full opening of the throttle butterfly: contact between 2 and 3 on connector.

What should be read inbetween idle and full opening , should there be no contact between 1 and 2, neither 2 and 3b? or something else
