Lezz go! Notification squad!
The Jaydemm Let’s goooooo! Appreciate you 🤘🏽
“Always carry a code reader if you own a bmw.” I felt that one.
They’re always up to something haha
More like always carry your mechanic with you all the time when you own a bmw , I learned a lot about those cars ,I'm not gonna lie , but I got tired of that POS it was issue to another issue , hot garbage
@@carlosgrajales44 iv had an e46 m3 for almost 10 years and its actually been one of the most mechanically solid cars iv ever own. its constantly have little electronic problems and sensors going bad/spitting out random codes all the time, but hardly ever anything thats actually a worry.
Bro i have bmw e46 i have issue with starting when i came to start after i stop 🛑 , it doesn’t start until it will cold, that happened it’s sometimes and also the battery and oil warning are hidden when doesn’t start .
Weeeeerd
I'm happy you showed the "fail" video. It's a more true representation of how this kinda stuff goes. Not every bolt comes right out. The first fix isn't always the one you need. Not every project gets finished in one weekend.
The dreaded EML light!! Don't get down on yourself, troubleshooting that is always a tough challenge but you got it all sorted which is what matters!!
Jake Aquilina Haha yeah true, it’s all a part of the process. Definitely happy it got solved
You gotta be kidding me I tuned up my E46 and still i couldn't get rid of this EML until i watched this video. Thanks dude
No problem, glad it helped!
Hey - thanks - I just had EML light go on with very rough idle. Code reader "P1632 - throttle valve adaptation; Adaptation conditions not met." I did the Throttle Adaptation Reset that you call out at 7:32 in the video and that WORKED LIKE A CHARM!!! Thanks!
AWESOME! I'm glad it helped out, thanks for watching!
dude!!! i literally had this issue happen this morning and was about to get the TPS sensor so i decided..nah let me search a bit more and came across your vid and it saved me a bunch of hassles, well done buddy all the way from south africa!!!!
Glad it helped out!!
The struggle is real bro! Props to you for posting all your struggles. That is why we love your vids!!!!! TY❤
Greatest feeling ever! Finally solved that god damn EML problem! I FEEL YOU
LETS GOOOOO
That's the greatest feeling. Knowing that your car is back to 100%.
Definitely! It's definitely weight lifted off the shoulders haha
“LET’S GO!!!!!” Hahahaha that smile on 8:43 though, $1m smile right there. Fire vlog brutha, glad to see this thing 100% after all the trouble!
Anthony Pelesasa too happy that it was finally back, thanks brutha!
First off , my hat off to you and thank you for posting every video even when you don't get the fix right off. Showing the struggle and keeping it real I respect you and your work you are my wife and I go to on the 330i 2004 bmw we are trying to fix for our niece.
Ate is my wife .
that smile was so cathartic, can't wait to reset my TPS adaptations as well.
had this issue on my e46 m3 as well and i was glad it was just the tps sensor haha. love the quality ass content my dude! you earned my sub
Definitely good to know it was just the sensor! Thanks, appreciate it!
So I woke. Up
Went on google
Typed in “e46 m3 Eml light in Sport “
This video came up
While I’m still waiting for my tps sensor to come in the mail I thought let me just try what he did
( I recently had my throttle body cleaned)
I look and my clamp looked the same way his did
I move the clamp so it isn’t rubbing or touch anything ….
Hop in the car
Let it warm up
I did multiple pulls in sport all the way up to 6000 rpm in 4 th gear
No eml light
I’m going to keep you posted hopefully that fixed it completely
Bro you’re a champion..this was exactly the problem I had, misaligning the throttle body clamps. Problem solved, God bless 👍
Glad you were able to fix it!!
@@GenoFoster benim BMW E46 320i m52 eml arızasını çözemedim yardımcı olurmusunz
Bout time Brodie. Who ever unliked got issues. Smh. Keep workin 🔥🔥
😂 appreciate it bro!
Let me say this I wish I saw this video first. This has made me swear by CZcams diy videos. Holy shit. The amount of money I’ve wasted and this was exactly the situation I was in moved the clamps reprogrammed and so far so good. Mechanics are the biggest waste of time and are all thieves. I went through sensors throttle actuator pick up the car same problem for them to have “never seen that code before” and then they wanted to change out my engine harness and when I asked why no answer when I asked well what’s causing the harness to be bad no answer. For them to gaslight me like I didn’t tell them exactly what my problem was and not to see that. Literally the throttle would get stuck on the clamps. Thank you is how I’m going to end this rant. Thank you.
Glad it helped you out!!
Also have this issue, thanks for the post mang
No problem, thanks for watching!
When the eml light turned on, did you have a a rough idle and not even 5 mins it will shut the engine off? What type of scanner you use? some scanners can’t read bmw’s.
I fuccking love you, I had karbonius airbox, during oil change I wanted to make sure everything was looking good with the clamps, so I changed position and it was hitting the throttle actuator. What a dumb mistake but thank you
Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts had the same issue 🎉
Good vid Geno. Glade you find the solution. Like the photos shoot 😎
Seth ///M3 Appreciate it, thanks for watching Seth! I’m definitely happy that it’s back to running normal again 😂
I am literally experiencing all of the problems that you guys have lol. I've been stressing about it because I really want to buy some recaros, but maintenance comes first ig :,(
I feel you haha maintenance forsure always first.. hopefully you're able to figure it out! It seems to be a pretty common issue for a lot of people
Dude me too I’m mad sad you got any tips ? I have thr original clamps so it isn’t even that
ty for during your viedo saved me alot of time and arravation now i can go fiddleheading you saved my day
glad the video helped!
Great job fixing your issues.
Thanks!
Thank you bro. I'm having the same problem
GREAT JOB WHAT WE ALL NEED TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT, BACKTRACK WHAT YOU DID BEFORE PROBLEM STARTED. THANK!
Thank you very much it works for me as i was following the introduction
I know how good it feels! It's happened to me. great great great ✌️👌✌️💯
I’ve been dealing with the emp issues for a couple months now on my ‘04 325i. Changed fuel injectors, fuel filter, spark plugs (just cause) and o2 sensors. Still have the issue. I guess TPS is next step. And if not that then it’s onto the throttle body and then the dreaded transmission solenoids 😭😭 send help
Look i just had similar experience with my bmw ,all i dd was just take off the negative battery terminal for a while, reconnect it back and the problem is solved 😅
Close up on the part switched will be helpful. How was it to replace? Difficult ,not so Difficult..
You’re AWESOME! Thank you
Lol the spongebob walking sound
Jessica Michel squeak squeak squeak
THE RESEARCH SHIRT!!!!
Mike Ontiveros GANG, Research Racing Team? 🤔
damn! that had to be so frustrating to find out xD at least it didn't cause any major issues 👍
Gorilla Project Car I’m just happy it’s back to normal but yeah definitely a stupid mistake lol
Great content 👍🏽💯
Thanks for watching!
I got a friend mechanic he told me you shudd change all 2 of them at the same time and clear the faults
have a 2002 325xi and EML light is on the dealer told me I need a new main wire harness......so could it just be a TPS sensor? or clamps lol that would suck if it was just that simple.
Don’t go to a mechanic they’re going to charge thousands for things you can fix with a screwdriver
Good video. It's very helpful to include the failed attempts. It shows process of elimination. We all experience that. CZcams should not reflect a perfect world when it comes to car repairs. It erodes confidence towards a channel.
I agree! I definitely try to show it all from the wins to the fails and how we work through them. Thanks for the comment and appreciate you watching!
@@GenoFoster Your very welcome. Keep up the great videos. Appreciate your work.
Finally i couldn't understand that how did you fix it ? Could you please tell me ?
Mine had to do with throttle body interference
I have a regular 2001 330i with the EML light on all vacuum leaks fixed and it no longer cranks would this be a similar fix to mine
Good morning I have a E46 Sedan 1999, with EML lite on, is missing fire I don't know if is trotlebod this is killing me
Thanks bro I had the same problem I was about to burn 🔥 the car down 😂
My EML light has come one twice and both times after a minute or so the DSL light comes on and the car goes limp. Restarting will reset it. I have not checked the codes yet but was wondering your thoughts. It is a M3 E46 S54. I would appreciate any advise.
Thank you so much!
Duuuuuude....I had this issue last year when I put in a light weight clutch kit in my M3. Funny thing is, I've had those bolt type clamps on my car since 2013 when I did a starter motor and out of dumb luck I got every clamp on without them being in the way of the throttle linkage, I wasn't even paying any attention to how I put them on haha. Then after the clutch install the EML light came on and I had no clue what the issue was. Took the manifold back off to check the lower TPS, it was good, put the manifold back on, and no more EML even after 4500 rpm. Soooo...manifold off again to replace the idle motor since my idle would dip and stall periodically, and suddenly the problem was back....figured it out after reading some forums haha. Damn those clamps. Now I jus need to figure out why my idle still dips, and why I have hesitation under hard acceleration. Your vids are well done! Much better than mine!
An Alaskan In Florida That’s crazy! Luckily your clamps were fine haha did you already change your fuel pump? Or clean your MAF sensor? I have another video where I cleaned a bunch of components like the throttle bodies to help with my rough idle issue and mines been solid so far!
@@GenoFoster I've cleaned the MAF several times, clean air filter, new fuel pump, filter, and fuel pressure regulator, new spark plugs and coil packs. I'll have to check that video out to see what all you cleaned. I did clean my ITB's but I admit I didn't do the greatest of jobs.
Like 30 seconds in to the Idle vid and I have that same issue to, doesn't always start on the first try, but always on the second and strong (even before the new fuel parts and plugs an coil packs).....k back to watching that vid....gawd please let Geno have solved the issue my car is having.......
Damn you did everything pretty much! I mean I’d say clean your ICV but you mentioned you replaced that already. Have you already checked for the vacuum leaks? Yeah as of right now the first crank starts but it’s just kind of weak, if I let it prime a little longer or prime the fuel pump twice sometimes I get away with a strong first start. I don’t know the exact reason for this... maybe fuel pressure? Haha it’s confusing man
@@GenoFoster I haven't checked for leaks yet in any rubber hoses, I've read they can be an issue and some have found they cause similar issues as mine or yours. I need to get a smoke machine.
Bruh my EML light is on as well but I have no clue what it is ?
Did you read your codes?
Bro I got my e46 in the shop now I wish I watched this first I know they are about to tax me smh
vale, pero cual ha sido el problema o lo que fallaba es que no he entendido nada.
I have the same problem on my z4 until now I couldn’t fix the problem
That's for the reset
Thanks champion for the imformasion
Hi how are you my e46 m3 is coming eml and limp mode no power at launch : electric gas actuator : control deviation
And signal throttle potentiometers 1 and 2 different you can help me plz
Mrb benim BMW E46 320i m52 aracım eml arızasını çözemedim yardımcı olurmusunz
Yeahh dope
Where can I order the TPS sensors
Hola saludos, tengo el problema también, le cambie el ELM,y sigue igual,será que no funciona porque es remplazo,se le limpió el trotel también, ayuda,por favor....GRACIAS
Lograste solucionarlo men ?
Change the tps on the throttle actuator
So how did that work for you
Can you repost that peddle fix process that guy sent you. Would like to have a copy for my references. Thank you.
Bro I need help please 🙏🏻 I’m Located in the San Fernando Valley if anyone is willing to help me….
So I’m having the same exact problem with my 2001 BMW 325ci. Can’t seem to find the TPS sensor location in the vehicle. I know the M3 Version has the S54 Engine and mine has the stock version so therefore can’t seem to find that sensor!
I have the same issue on an SMG M3. replaced all TPS's in cluding throttle paddle and same thing, it stalls while coming to a stop. Any idea? Thanks.
I'm struggling with this shit.. changed boths sensors and throttle pedal. It's been worse since I changed the second tps sensor. Before thst the eml light woukd go away l; jow it's constant
Mine won’t turn on at all with the eml light
I changed the tps but eml problem still so what could it be? Should i change the throttle pedal?
If you changed both tps sensor in the engine bay then yeah the throttle pedal would be last, did you already run the codes?
Code showed throttle valve so what should i change?
Could be repared without replacing it?
@@patrickmerheb4834 Hey man! Did u get it fixed?
I got the eml, traction control, and brake light on my dash please help
Ruben Santos Did you already check the codes?
Ruben Santos ABS sensors
Havin the same problem on my 05 e46.
I am getting P0120 code TPS A circuit for the Eml light - would it be just the sensor ? Any leads would be helpful
Go to 50's kids channel. He was a video on this fix.
When my EML comes on, I'm going through the emissions testing.. all pass but when (I think) the catalyst test is being done, I get the EML plus MAF sensor fault code. MAF is brand new.. I've been battling this for over three years.. so yeah, always need a code reader when owning a 20+ year old BMW..any advice?
Oh.. I should add, I have a supercharged 2000 328ci with headers and 3" pipes feeding an active autowerke muffler..
Get a smoke test done, you may have a hole in your rubber boot
I have a 325i giving eml kight after 4k rpm gonna try this
Goodluck! 👍🏽
@@GenoFoster no luck dont see anything touching throttle body
@@edbanks713 already replaced your TPS sensors?
@@GenoFoster how many are there i cant find any smh
@@edbanks713 for the m3 there is one on top of the engine, one under the intake manifold and one in the accelerator pedal. I’m not sure how it is for regular 3 series but I would definitely try to get some info on online forums!
I jus got mine fix it was my throttle body
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAY
Unfortunately it didn’t work with my car( after including a stove in my car, EML are appearing again and again
Sorry to hear it didn’t work. What do you mean by stove?
@@GenoFoster i mean climate control, today I bought new throttle and nothing changed about the EML error. I don’t know what to do, because I have no idea what is going on with my car. It breaks my heart, when you don’t know how to help your car:-(
@@kingofthecastle5461 I completely understand it can be frustrating. What codes are you getting?
@@GenoFoster the thing is that the diagnostic didn’t show me any information about throttle. By the way EML error shows only when it is cold outside, I have never noticed that error in summer or in spring. I don’t know how that links with my problem, but there is a fact about it. I checked my electric engine control unit, it was clean and dry. My car has 90k km mileage and I can’t say that it is old or something like that. It is just one problem in it...that’s all🤷🏻♂️
This is why new models after 05 are not as good as 2000 to 2005 3series.
Now can you make a video fixing it only??? To much bla bla bla…….
Puedes hablar en Español porfavor, digo no te ves estadounidense...
Get the point less talking
we all know that dissapointment bmw sigh at 4.05. we all have been there bro on multiple occasions, haha.
Me coming to on your search for more videos because this is happening to my e46 🥹 🥲
