Throttle Adaption Reset

Recommended Posts

It's position 2 m8. Once you've done the 10secs on then 10secs off...half way through way you will hear a click under the handbrake area.

position 1 worked for me, before I did it I really need to give it some when reversing etc so it didn't stall, after the position 1 reset its fine, maybe its position 1 or 2 ?? as I did position 2 as well but no difference to the improvement I experienced from position 1...

If you have a cable driven throttle you can get the same sort of effect by disconnecting the battery for about 30 minutes, you m54 guys could use that way to.

Wire a battery cut off switch into your dash or phone tray, then simply flick it off when you park, back on to start the car next time, instant reset.

Can someone please clarify if "decent 1" is basically one click forward, or does it mean as far as it goes without turning the engine , I.e ignition on.

Did it a minute ago as mean seems laggy and think it made a slight difference but not sure if I did it roght

I just tried this, and there's a definite improvement in throttle response and therefore power availability in gears 1 and 2 from launch and out of corners/roundabouts etc.

The engine seems to be getting through the rev range to the red line quicker, so I need to watch out for that!

Tried this, thought i'd share my results.

My car is a pre-facelift 2001 325 auto. Just recently got it so no idea what previous driver was like.

Tried the re-set procedure using position 2 on the ignition barrell. I heard an audible but faint click (like a relay) from the glovebox area after about the right amount of time.

As for the result, i'm pretty sure the previous owner must have wafted to the shops and back all day as the difference was dramatic! First pull away from a junction the thing took off like a stabbed rat! Even the DSC stepped in.

I have found after a week of driving sedately to work and back the box and 'learned' and reverted back to 'lazy old man mode'

So from now on i'll either reset it every week or just drive it to work li I stole it :punk:

From memory mate.

Fire up inpa

Select e46

Engine, then select engine type m54 etc.

F4 or error

F7 or adaption

I normally clear all. Don't have engine running though or it'll go into limp mode and the dash lights up like Blackpool at Christmas.

Enjoy
