It doesn't mean that you don't know a lot or that you haven't helped before.
You get off on looking down at people. Like you called me on my "attitude" when I first bought my X5. While I had 0 attitude. So I think there's some error in your head that you imagine things that don't exist.
If the person posts here, even with no knowledge, you need to offer some easy to try solutions and work with his level of knowledge and whatever he can accomplish. You don't scare him off and don't kick him off, you don't embarrass or ridicule him, you don't shut him down. You let him try and learn. Only if you have proof he's above his head, for example if he cannot accomplish what's been suggested, you can kindly advise that maybe a good mechanic could be a better choice.
But instead of trying to help you decided to get crowned as drama queen here.
No one has to be Bully on this forum, but apparently, you believe that anyone that doesn't have the same opinion as you should be bullied.

You're the one that falsely accused me of calling your X a piece of junk when it was CapeX5 that made that comment. In that post, I just pointed out your attitude toward CapeX5 when he replied to your post. I even posted a link to that post so everyone will see who is making crap up. But you never replied to my post with the link because you will have to admit you made a mistake.

The wiring at this point I don't really care about...
What I need to figure out is why it goes into limp mode.
ICV and throttle body were pretty clean and unobstructed!
There was one little wire broken on the MAF sensor (maybe I broke it while taking it out) and there is some small hose that's all brittle. Not sure what has hose is for.
So at this point I don't understand what the issue is.
I'm leaning toward replacing the throttle body because OBDII is giving me so many throttle body related errors and there's nothing that I can see visually.

Maybe it's ok for you to call people DUDE but I find that offensive.

At the beginning of the OP original post, he admits that he doesn't know what he is doing. So you tell him to get an amp clamp which he probably doesn't own or know how to use. His money will be better spent on bringing the X to a tech, instead of buying tools that he will never use later.
