So my car cuts when i'm driving with minimun throttle, no stress for engine. Then i plugged off Throttle Position Sensor and now it works fine, but i know that now it doesn't go to engine braking mod so it feeds fuel alltime and maybe that is reason why engine doesn't cut?

Maybe when sensor is connected it goes too ealy to engine braking mod and cuts fuel when i'm still driving?? I know that you can't adjust sensor without drilling some holes so it's in original position.

Anyone knows right ohm values for TPS so i could test it?

Possibly something else is wrong? MAF is new and it didn't change anything. I also have removed whole intake manifold and fixed all leaks. crank angle sensor is also changet in bmw service place and cutting started about month after that.

Is that new MAF from the dealer, how long ago did you buy it? Any changes to your intake at all recently? Been to a car wash?

Check for vacuum leaks! Otherwise, if I'm not mistaken, pins 2 and 3 should read 800-1000 ohms closed and 3200-4800 open on your TPS. Beyond that, check your ICV.

Fix: So my meter is at 20K position and it show closed 5.52 and when open it shows 6.75. I double checked pins from bosch connector that i had. Looks like some earlier owner have opened Sensor because all clamps are broken.

Yes MAF is new from the dealer also. I bought it last summer. Car is in original condition, no wash or any tuning. Only that i fixed few intake leaks last week, but problem was already before that and it didn't change anything..

ICV atleas looked allright and no leaks there. Is there some electrical way to test it?

What do mean by cutting out, does it suddenly loose power, does the car feel as if its holding back or dipping ?

Does it sound as if one cylinder goes dead?

Problem solved! I installed new TPS and now it works like new.

I mean that cutting was like "missfiring" alltime but of course without flames or banging. I hope you understand what i mean. :)
