Guess we'll try this here - Troubles
hats up guys & gals. First post here other than the intro thread.
Bought my first MINI about 4 months ago and have loved every minute of it. I used to be in the vw/audi scene so I'm no newbie other than to this engine itself. I started modding the moment the car hit my driveway.
Listed here:
Alta 15% pulley, Alta CAI w/ tube, Alta IC diverter, magencor wires, msd coil, brisk colder plugs, catch can and just recently performance header & race cat.
Now on to the troubles, my serp belt snapped leaving me stranded about 2 months ish ago. I decided that would be a good time to upgrade the pulley and ignition. Upgraded to the previously stated kit and everything went great. I had a small idle issue following that. Never effected drivability until now.
Installed the header / cat combo an the problem is now more pronounced. I do believe the headers have any correlations other than it being louder. I took to autozone and got the codes pulled and they were both for the throttle body P0222 and one other.
Pulled the TB apart and cleaned it. It was pretty dirty but I feel like it is the TPS, which would have to replace with a new TB.
Before I go off and order a new TB I want to be sure that is the problem.
Anyone have any suggestions on what I could test or what I could do?
TIA
For the record, I have been "searching" for days now

Well so far no luck. I got the new throttle body in on Friday, installed and instantly made an improvement. Drove perfect for the next hour until I hit traffic, then again it started. It isn't doing it as frequent but the problem is still there.
It was a brand new TB so no chance it is the problem now. Today I went and cleaned both tmap sensors and still no better. I've checked all the connections that I would have ever messed with on the car and can't find anything loose, missing, broken or anything along those lines.
I have a new crank pulley coming in which I'm replacing next weekend but I really don't believe that is the problem.
My codes were p0122 and p0222, both dealing with the throttle.
I'm on whits end and cant figure it out.
