Bump

 

did you ever find out what was wrong with your bimmer? i put the OBD II scanner on and came up with the same code also. what did you do and how much did it cost? i got a new throttle body and new engine wiring harness.

 

bonaphydelb, did your problem go away after replacing the throttle body? I have the p1580, check engine light on , EML, limp mode, etc. Dealer scanned engine and came up with this:

DME - (114) 72 Activation, engine throttle (OBDII: P1580;EUIII: P0505) - Electrical fault, engine throttle ---- Currently
- ENGINE THROTTLE B1214 M0MDK
DME - (170) AA Control-module self-test, engine throttle or internal fault (OBDII: P0601;EUIII: P0601) - Computer has
- Control-module self-test B1214_M0SGS
- DME main relay B1214_M0UBH

Like to know if replacing the throttle body helped, because dealer wants $500 Canadian +taxes which would be a bummer if it didn't solve the problem.

Thanks!

I know there is a bullitin on a fault for throttle valve which requires replacing the
engine wire harness and the throttle valve it's self. What is the month of production of the cars and I will tell you if the bullitin covers your problem.

I just spoke to a dealer that said he had a customer with the evap and throttle errors. Said there was a leak in the evap system that caused the other code, so check the evap system for leaks first.

I have 2 fault codes on my 200 328i (115K miles). P0441 - Evaporative Emission Control System Malfunction
Purge flow valve and P1580 - Throtte Valve Mechanically Stuck. Also under the Inspection/Maint monitor the following come up as "not ready": Catalyst, Heated Catalyst, Evap System, Sec Air, 02 Sensor, and H02 Sensor.

The car is in limp mode (EML light) and resetting the codes and turning the ignition on/off does not appear to correct the problem. Could i have a bad catalytic converter? What would the symptoms of that be? I have not ever had the O2 sensors replaced? What about the Mass Air Flow sensor? Any thoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

 

If anyone is interested, I had my throttle body replaced, and the problem is now solved.
