my wife did this in our 740i but she got confused , she pressed the pedal to the floor then started the engine then held it , counted to a minute ,and i heard boom there were bits of pistons and oil all over the garden even in the street and next door .and the screen is cracked .
i do this once a month but you shouldnt , it will screw up your electrics .
😂🤣
in sovietic BMW you dont learn how to drive, car learn how to drive you
This completely transformed the responsiveness of my 2003 E46 M3. Absolutely amazing difference.
i did this on my LADA and now it does 45mph .its much better .
U fr
I fell in love with my car after that. Thank you so much 👏🏻
This video is an absolute hidden gem, I think everyone who buys a used bmw should do this. I felt like it was chasing a ghost, but this solved my issue. Thank you Jono.
Is this also to program a new throttle body?
What ghost were you chasing? Limp Mode gremlin? I am chasing that now.
@@routerpete1674 yessir! Make sure to check the connections to your throttle body
I had this issue for a week.... check engine light, EML light , traction control light.....did this trick for my 2000 bmw e46 323i, worked like a charm.....then I cleared the check engine light...thank you sir!!😊😊(01/29/2024)
Hey bro what were ur codes I having this issue on my e39 528i bmw rn
bruh I'm having same issue....one mine gone ill edit my comment....just give it a like so i can remember.... i got a 323ci 2000 too
I just did this on my BMW 325i m sport automatic, and it worked a dream. It was so laggy now it's perfect it seems to have helped my mpg as well it's it's not lagging between gear changes or acceleration. Cheers mate
Btw. This works on all bmws audis Mercedes and vw.
This is work on BMW e46 m43 1.9???
I bought my 2011 328i used. Thought it was strange that the gas pedal seemed to be very heavy to press like it was "sticky". This trick was brilliant my friend. Now the gas pedal feesl like butter again pushing down on it. Crazy it learns your driving style but this was a great hidden trick of these vehicles. Cheers, Mate.
Bro you just fixed my 4 month issue with my throttle body I would drive for like 10 mins then a eml light would come on and car would go into limp mode I tried this rn and took it for a drive I drove for about 40mins and drove amazing no eml issue fixed !
Could not recommend this enough. Drove my car home last night from my parents and I couldn’t get it to go without it flicking down a gear or being laggy. Did this before I went to work this morning and it’s like a completely different car. Thanks so much
I have a 01’ 530i, and I was messing around in INPA. I cleared the throttle adaptations in INPA and it instantly gave my car an EML light. You could clear the light, but when you restarted the car it would come back. This fixed it! Cheers mate
Had jerky acceleration in 2nd 1st gear THIS solved everything well done and thanks bud
will this solve the jerkyness? mine jerks when i start the engine, it only started after i replaced alternator, code 2796 throttle adaptation values incorrect
@@Doevu gotta get it programmed
Brilliant mate had the engine management light on error code was trottle sensor tried this and worked in my e46 m3 👍keep the videos coming very helpful
This fixes my abs brake and eml light!!!
Man what's your address so I can send you a care package , big time help !!!
Glad it helped.
Hell yeah dude!!! Jah bles u, it,s worked!
Like from Spain 👍🏻
Thanks this totally fixed the jerkyness with the 1st and 2nd gear (1997 e39). I thought something was wrong with the throttle :')
I was about to order a new Accelerator Pedal about $200. This fix worked perfectly. My 2002 BMW 530 I is now very responsive ! Thanks much..
My throttle pedal lags on dead stop, especially on the traffic light, will this fix the problem?
Does it work on manual transmission ?
Idiot his car is manual transmission
Hi mate. Can I try this on a Automatic bmw 5 series 520i ? And should I do it the same way ? Thanks.
It probably took you longer to type this question, than to just go outside and try it...
This has worked massive. To my 2004 325 automatic. No throttle no longer like on off switch and mpg has gone up 5mpg and same route
hi jono can this be done on an e46 me smg car?? i get a bit of kangerooing at times and i also feel my throttle response is a little sensitive so was thinking of trying this out if its applicable to my car as well
Works on all E46s, it resets the parameters of the throttle position sensor, etc..
works on e39 ?
wonder the same
My 2004 bmw 325xi rpm go up and down then turn off when I stop should this work for me ??
Yours is probably the idle air control valve

Thank you so much!! It worked on my son's
2000 BMW 328i much appreciated 👍
That car has a cable throttle, so this won't have done anything
@@imkirbo3094 mine also 2000 328i ..its absolutly works! amazing
I did this and my engine light cleared up! I love you! Thank you!!! ❤️
Man you saved me a lot of trouble, I was having a sort of limp mode cleaned and checked all sensors and electric parts still nothing, saw your video and gave it a try and it worked like a charm.
Thanks a lot. 🎉
I do reset my bmw 320d sometimes like that, it works well!
You got me home!
My throttle position sensor suddently went “Aaarh! I don’t know what I’m doing!”, and I was caught by the side of the road with the check engine light, the EML light, and the code P0220.
This TBS-reset procedure made my car drivable again, and turned off the EML light so that I could get home. I deleted the code to turn off the check engine light, and it hasn’t returned since (Yet… 190.000 miles after all).
Thanks a lot mate!
appreciated 👍 my 2001 323i amazing again. Thank you so much
I had stall problem on E46 328ci this helped, i had code 0000a9 Throttle issue, this helped my problem and now the drive’s perfectly thank you mate, make more videos I will always follow you!
FYI, this won't do anything if you have a cable throttle.
My ks
Ey doesn't work. One out of the three buttons on the key fob is not functioning the one that programmed the extra key to the car I have an old b m w p from a different b m w like to reprogram it
Man you just save my wallet, thank
give part of that money to poor people.
Doesn't work on my 2002 330xi, for whatever reason. Won't reset.
Was stuck on the side of the road it idles but whenever I reved it only went to 1500rpms this video did the trick thanks!
Do I press the throttle down til it stops or do I press it down and also push down the “go fast” button ?
bro been 4 weeks since u asked.. today im wondering about exactly the same🤔
so what was the answer of it? tell me plz😅
@@manlacost07 😂 dead
Yeah bro I did it the first time without pressing it down.. And I sat and thought 🤔 And then like 2 days later I did it again but this time pressing it because that would technically be going down some more *if that makes sense 🧐 😂🤣
@@themaincrunch8773 that's deep thinking bro 😂🤣
Wtf it worked hahahaha. I have a 2000 BMW 323i that threw a P1542 code for pedal position sensor.
My e39 530i is super responsive. I can now blip the throttle for smooth downshifts
Done this on bmw m3 e46 today was Jerky fixed everything thanks for this saved me some money lol
I LOVE YOU MA FRIEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! e46 316 coupe facelift 2004
I'm working on it. New videos are coming soon on a BMW M54 engine for a turbo build.
how do i need to drive it to make the throttle more responsive, because it feels so sluggish now...
Does this work for 320d e46 who get the gas alittle bit after i press throttle?
This sorted my issue thanks man!
i change my alternator and charge good but if i go for 1 hour my battery discharge ,maybe throttle problem ? any help?
Change battery and see how that goes. Batteries can die during cold weather
I turned the battery and still loses the power while walking, but the alternator indicates that the battery is charging 14.5.When I wait 10 minutes the machine turns on again and again loses power while the battery does not light up the car again.me has left in the street but I changed the battery and the car momentarily switched on. But again it loses its power while walking, but not when the car is standing because it shows that it runs 14.5.maybe mass air flow sensor ?
My car is tuned, is this going to ruin my ecu tune back to stock or something?
dude seriously thank you so much i did this and it reset my tps senosr and my car runs fine now. Cant thank you enough!!
I can't understand what he's doing...please explain. Thanks
Dam dude you are the man ! Got my e46 riding again thank you so much brother
thanks you really helped me so much❤️
Habe heute getestet in ein E46 328i und funktioniert sehr gut nachdem Reset, bei mir war MKL an und Fehler mit Drosselklappe , jetzt läuft super, danke dir
Bro i didn't hear anything and didn't understand please help me here in replies
I think resets the transmission adaptation not theottle body 🤔
You are a life and money saver. Thank you!
This made my pedal stiffer is that supposed to happen
Bobby 😂😂😂😂
@@themostfeared8633 ight
Is this also applicable to the e46 with the wired throttle?
my bmw 728i , was limited to 140mph. The guy at bmw said go in the glove box , The LRS switch on the laft side , Turn it off , so i did, Now my car is not limited will do 158mph ,but i wont push it anymore than that , Becouse of the tyres . boy its quick ,
What's a lrs switch? Does the e39 have this
I did this on my M3 SMG, but it doesnt work
This got my throttle working again only thing is on the next journey throttle is dead again so I have follow the procedure again, any idea?
Works ! E46 316i lift
Does this help if the pedal feels stiff to press ? Thanks
Jordan Jayatilleke Same Problem
Is this the same as throttle body?
Needs an audio rest as can not here it
Thanks for the explanation
Can i use for my e36 320i ?
I know this is an old video, but after reading the comments I'm really hoping you can help me. I have a 2006 X5 3.0i. did the CCV and the next day while driving the trans failsafe program came on. Same time code for MAF sensor. I replaced MAF and that code is gone but trans failsafe keeps coming back seconds after starting car. Any ideas? Thanks I. Advance!
Trans code is CAN torque interface
Sounds like a communication issue, have you made sure you've connected everything back up? Also make sure to clear the fault codes.
isnt this reset of ECU?
You just save me time and money, thank you a thousand times 👍👍👍👍👍
Do you happen to know how to reset brake pressure sensor?
Glad that I've helped you. Regards to the brake pressure sensor, is there a yellow light illuminated on the dashboard? (turns red when handbrake is applied). If so, check the brake fluid level. Could possibly be low or going bad. Also I believe it would need plugging into diagnostics to reset.
or after changing the brake pads you can reset the yellow light by pressing the brake pedal por 30 seconds with the key in the second position or before starting the engine
is it workable on e46 with cable throttle or dbw or both also can?
Faizal Halim pretty sure or only works on Fly-by Wire pedals. You’d need confirmation though.
Gonna have to try this myself 😌👌🏼
And arma off the battery?
Awesome!!! Thanks
This work!
Thank 👍
I love you 535 solver
Wow! Worked a charm, the difference is night and day, brilliant!
Seems like it working , let me give it a go
It works , much more touchy
This didnt work for me
Mabs Kha the car might have to be at operating temp so let it warm up for about 10 min before you try.
I love you man
I did this and my EML dash light came on directly after and has stayed on is this unrelated?
Unrelated.
Some people say position 1 on key. Which one is true
You are a GOD sir. Hats off to you
Omg .... thank you so much .
I've seen other explanations on this reset without holding the pedal down, does holding the pedal down do anything? Where did you acquire this info?
Wonder if this will work on my M3. About to try it
Alexander Granados did it work? If so, how was it like before ?
Does right down mean all the way down?
Nah it means press slightly on the pedal. I held it for 30 seconds total position one 2 and off completely
Will this also work on the cable throttle?
How can I tell if this changed anything ?
Drive it????
This worked on my 2003 325i
Glad to hear.
My rpm keeps jumping up and down like crazy mainly when I got my ac on and I’m in idle, would this help? I have an E90
CJ Carpenter in general when you turn the A/C on, the revs will go slightly higher. But as it's jumping up and down, It sounds like a fault MAF sensor. Try unplugging it to see if it's any different.
I have similar problem with my E46, and also i've noticed turning on the a/c also kills my mpg. I've already cleaned my ICV and rebuilt my DISA valve as well as unplugged and replugged my MAF a couple times during these lil bits of maintenance done so far. I kinda have a hunch its my CCV/ oil separator, but i've yet to do anything to that yet as I lack the time... Any other ideas?
Vacuum leak
Maf or icv
You legend this has sorted my car right out
Great to hear. New videos are coming soon on a BMW M54 engine for a turbo build.
Iv heard it’s spark plugs and then someone else told me fuel injectors I have an 08’ BMW 328i sedan it’s going up and down like crazy when I am stopped at stoplights.
Idle control valve?
Defo icv 👍 don't need to buy a new one just remove old one and spray Gt85 inside it and shake it like mad until it starts to slide free when you shake it then refit 👍
Have you topped the oil up recently? Mine did this after topping up with oil. Mine did the same and ended up being that the oil cap wasn't quite on tight enough.
Works on e39?
Should do, yes. Depends on the key. Is your key the diamond one?
Jono's Auto Repairs no no
There's 2 types of keys for the E39.
Both keys are this procedure.
- Unlock vehicle
- Enter vehicle and close Drivers door.
- Switch ignition on and off and remove the key and point towards the rear window (Best hold key over shoulder, procedure works best from rear window since its a receiver)
- Press and hold unlock button and press lock button 3 times within a 10 second period while the unlock button is still depressed.
@@Motor-repairs what's this process do?
Lovely stuff
drive by wire or cable trottle?can this be done on a e36 m50 engine tps?
Works on both. All this does is reset the parameters on the TPS because the vehicle learns how you use your throttle if you know what I mean?
I think I know,but if you have some spare time,you can explain it.my problem is that the idle RPMs are to low (only when a car gets to normal operating temp)
Normally they sit between 600RPM - 800RPM Usually controlled by the idle control actuator. Mine generally runs low when warm. However, if it was a rough idle then that's a totally different story.
if it is ICV it would have problems immediately when I start the car,no?this happens like when an engine switches from closed to open loop mode (sensors)...also when I disconnect the TPS idle rise up just a little and dont fall down below again.but I tried another one tps (not new,but in ok correct condition) and the symptoms remained the same.
Hmm, this sounds odd. Do you have access to any diagnostic tools?
For automatics do you need to push it into the kickdown mode or no?
