I posted this a couple days ago, and not a single reply, so it got buried! I really need some help with this one!
Ok so I got the TPS code, and I replaced it with one from pelican..Still had the problem, so I tested the thing with a Meter and it maxed out at 2.7k WOT, So I RMA'D it and got another that is withing Acceptable Tolerances.
BUT, now whenever I let my car Idle for too long I get the same code, which makes my tranny work in gears 3 and 4 only, until I pull over, and Pull the battery for 10 seconds, which clears the code and everythings fine again. I was thinking bad wiring, BUT it ONLY does this after it idle's for 20 seconds or more. I drove 350 Miles on the highway without Incident, until I pulled into a Drive thru, then it throws the code again! So now when Im at a light i just put her in Neutral and rev it up to 1300 over and over until it's a green light, and I shut it off in a Drive thru!
Please tell me someone has had an issue like this...I checked the wiring as best I could and it all seems fine. you can read my mods down in my SIG...I always help out people (Even when they should have searched I help them) so please help me if you can!
(http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?p=21197390#) I had the light come on today, and when I turned the car on Just to Idle and charge the battery (Im Redoing my stereo with some custom kick panels and a new amp rack) I was going to pull the cable, but didnt get around to it..and when I Started the car again the light was gone!
Some pics pf what Ive been doing....
My new Kicker SoloBaric Sub with and Ebay 3/4 MDF box that's Really well made for 39.99 shipped (how do they make money on that? the shipping has got to cost half of that??) And a Basic Amp Rack I made, and Some kick panel Speaker pods Im making out of Fiberglass and Body filler....
