Replacing throttle position sensor

[killcrap]

early x5's have problems with either the wiring harness or the throttle bodys. be sure to have the vehicle properly diagnoised before replacing any components. a ripped intake air boot can cause a fault described as throttle jammed.

Thanks for the reply.

These are the codes I am getting:

- Throttle position sensor 1, plausibility, range or performance
- O2 Sensor adaptation limit (all cylinders)
- O2 Sensor control limit (all cylinders)
- Misfire Cyl 1, 3 & 6
- Coolant thermostat jammed open

Perhaps a ripped intake boot could cause all of those errors (except the last one) ?

Thanks.

I'm getting a code with my 2004 3.0i but not showing any negative symptoms running

76 Throttle position sensor 1, plausibility range or performance

-- can I "safely" ignore it or at some point will it start limping (it's been like this for about 10k miles)

-- would cleaning the throttle body help in any way ?
