After leaving my Z3 6 cylinder N52 parked up for a whole, I started it fine but as soon as I accelerated to pull away the engine misses and runs poorly. The EML and traction control light came on. After looking at it myself, the code came up “throttle body switched off”. I have also taken it to 2 BMW specialists which I’ve paid for and their diagnosis was change the throttle body and change the idle control valve - which has been done. I have also since tried these parts on another like for like and they work fine.
I’ve done a smoke test for leaks and all good
The cost does clear when I use my Snap on or do the ignition key factory reset procedure. The car idles perfectly but as soon as I touch the accelerator it spluttering and spitting and the EML and traction control lights illuminate.
It’s driving me crazy! any advice or help would be much Ltd appreciated. I’m now into £ hundreds and getting nowhere. Thanks so much in advance.
