2001 x5 4.4 starts then dies.....HELP!!!!

[blakey2000]

The throttle is brand new vdo, clean as can be?

[blakey2000]

if theres an adaption I need it for a E53 M62TU (aka....x5 4.4 liter)

that E53 /E54 on is different

I don't think there is an Adpatation procedure for the EDK. The adaptation is automatic.

Here's what I found about ther M62 TU engine and the EDK.

The EDK is continuously monitored during all phases of engine operation. It is also
briefly activated when KL 15 is initially switched on as a “pre-flight check” to verify it’s
mechanical integrity (no binding, appropriate return spring tension) by monitoring the
motor control amperage and the reaction speed of the EDK feedback potentiometers.
If faults are detected the EDK motor is switched off and fuel injection cut off is activated
(no failsafe operation possible). The engine does however continue to run extremely
rough at idle speed.

Since you have fault codes if the fuel injection cut off is activated that may be the reason why the engine dies. If you clear the fault codes and start the engine, the EDK maybe able to adapt to the new throttle pedal you installed.

Why did you replace so many parts in the first place? Also a new DME requires adaptation to the flywheel.
Here's the complete write up on the M62TU

upallnight,

this is EXACTLY where Im at, it senses a fault of "voltage too high" and cuts the fuel hense the start and stop. Problem is I cant clear the codes, the 3 pedal codes remain and it continues to do this. I can unplug the pedal and it runs in 'engine failsafe' which is rich, choppy and smilar to bad maf mode (since it runs in default limp mode)

not sure what to do

upallnight,

also at KL15 (igniton switched to pos. 2) I hear the throttle flap open and shut quickly, so it is talking to it. But thats it!

[blakey2000]

I see the adaption process. But I cant clear my codes to start this process.


"

EDK ADAPTATION
PROCEDURE:

When a replacement EDK
is installed the adaptation
values of the previous EDK
must be cleared from the
ME 7.2 control module.

1. From the Service
Function Menu of the
DIS/MoDiC, clear
adaptation values.

2. Switch the ignition OFF
for 10 seconds.

3. Switch the ignition ON
(KL 15). At approximately
30 seconds the
EDK is briefly activated
allowing the ME 7.2 to
“electrically learn” the
new component.
This procedure is also necessary after replacing an ME 7.2 control module. However, the

adaptation values do not require clearing since they have not yet been established."

Did you change the TPS at the throttle plate?

I would also check the connector to the DME to see if there is any corrosion and connectors at the TPS in the throttle plate and the pedal. High voltage would indicate that one of the potentiometer is not registering the correct ohm.

[blakey2000]

Yes entirely new throttle body.

Since later cars have EWS security coded keys, when you replaced DME did you align the new DME with the EWS?

[blakey2000]

Yes I performed the alignment between the dme and the EWS as soon as I put the new DM E and it's not that . The car starts and shuts off so it's getting electrical signal the security systems fine
