Car loosing throtttle after pull

E90jacob · 09-03-2022, 07:33 PM

Hi so recently I had an issues with vanos, swapped the solenoids with new ones and it ran great.

Yesterday I did a pull and after I let off the throttle, the dash lit up and I lost throttle response. The car was still in drive but would not drive. I pulled over and put it in parked, the idle started to bounce between 800-1200. checked codes, cleared them and did it again and to no avail it happened again.

Codes:
P1417
P1639
P0012(sometimes)

I've checked everything but can't seem to find the issue. Please guys any help is appreciated

What did you replace the solenoids with—OE or some other brand? What have you checked? What issues were you having with VANOS solenoids that caused you to replace them in the first place?

Also, if you can get BMW codes that will make diagnosing the issue(s) much easier. (You’ll need a specific type of scanner or software. What you’ve provided helps, but they’re generic P-codes. The BMW hex codes are much more specific.
