Problems with 2014 BMW 4 Series gasoline engine: engine light, rough running, high consumption - throttle valve defective?

Hey guys, I've got a problem with my 2014 petrol BMW 4 Series. The car is behaving really strangely - engine light comes on, engine just cuts out, doesn't really pick up the throttle, runs erratically, pulls when accelerating and consumes a lot of fuel. I think it could be the throttle valve, but I'm not sure. Do any of you have experience with this kind of problem and could give me a tip on what I should have checked at the garage? I would be interested to know how you have solved this and what your experiences are. Many thanks in advance!

Hello everyone, unfortunately in my case it is not the throttle valve but the CCG that is causing the fault due to a defective clutch. As the clutch grinds, it needs more revs and other sensors are already spinning. Unfortunately, I only discovered this after replacing the mass air flow sensor, the throttle valves and the extenter shaft.

I have a BMW F10 520d 2014 facelift. I have had errors 278A00 and 244C00 for days. These are errors for the throttle valve and turbocharger. Now the question is whether there is a connection and whether there are repair procedures

Hello, Yes, these faults could be related. If the throttle valve is no longer working properly, it could be that the boost pressure is too low as a result, causing this error. My recommendation would be to check the throttle valve more closely in order to diagnose a possible defect.

Could this be from installing a new throttle body and spacer? If so, how do I get my e c u to learn the new installation

Hello, If a new throttle valve is installed, it usually needs to be tuned. However, the teach-in process is different for every car and every brand, which is why I cannot give you any precise information here.

Hello, What repairs have already been carried out? The first step should be to test the wiring of the throttle valve, if everything is OK then the throttle valve should be replaced.

Had the P0366 error which was saying immobilizer error.....I changed the throttle body and the car works perfectly again.

Hello, The P1604 code is related to the startability of the vehicle, it's not directly related to the throttle body. It could be due to a weak battery, a problem with the fuel system, or an issue with the immobilizer system itself. I would recommend starting with a check of the battery and the fuel system. If these are fine, you may need to have the immobilizer system checked by a professional. Please keep us updated on your progress.
