Have a look here for fault codes.

Try disconnecting the battery for half an hour.

If I disconnect the throttle pot on my 2.1td it will rev higher than normal with, yellow warning light and of course, no throttle response. I would guess a bad connection to it.
406 estate, 2.1TD, I fixed her, then part exchanged her for a Mercedes E300TD Avantgarde Estate.
Hmmmm, straight 6 goodness!
