Have owned my bmw 318ci 1.9 1999 for over a year now and it's not been a too bad car until now. The other day after re fueling my car started to splutter and struggle to pull away. It also wouldn't rev past 4k.
Soon after engine management came on and it went into limp mode.
Thought maybe dodgy petrol or something similar so have flushed all the fuel out, put in red ex engine cleaner etc and run it around for a while with no joys. Then changed the petrol filter and still no luck.
Have also cleaned the maf, throttle body, idle control with cleaner and still no good. Engine management has since gone off but its still limited and spluttering and chugs on idle.
Had it plugged in and there are 2 errors:
Throttle position sensor signal
Hot film mass air sensor
Any idea what this means and what the problem may be?
I've done some looking but can't find anything
I'm not the most mechanical person either.
Any help would be great!!
