MINI R56 N12 rough RPM with slight accelerator pedal pressing
Hi, my 2010 MINI R56 with N12 engine and 130k miles is experiencing strange RPM behavior, when the accelerator pedal is slightly pressed and RPM should raise from idle to ~800-820. I've checked absolutely everything, replaced spark plugs, PCV diaphragm and PCV hose, also head cover gasket was replaced, so there's no air leaks. VANOS solenoids replaced. Car runs smoothly on the road, fuel consumption is quite good. No CEL and no errors checking from the ISTA. O2 sensors also were replaced and showing 1.00 (14.7) for air/fuel mix. One thing that was checked is that when intake cam sensor or intake VANOS solenoid is disconnected and that way valvetronic is disabled, CEL shows up, but on slight accelerator push RPMs are raising as they should, without any hiccups. Attaching video to show that strange behavior. Maybe someone has experienced that kind of issue and can advice me. Thanks.

Thanks, but it's not about pushing brake pedal. Issue comes when I'm pressing just accelerator slightly even without brake pedal. At this moment valvetronic should turn eccentric shaft a little bit for more revs, but in fact RPMs are dropping to ~600 and then stabilizes again.

The throttle control is drive by wire I believe. Thus this suggests the problem is with the drive by wire system.
Admittedly this is just a WAG.
Any OBD2 pending codes? And for the throttle there may be proprietary codes logged.
If you can initiate a reset or calibration of the electronic throttle from behind the wheel try that. Or if the tool you have can initiate that give it a try.
Calibration and adaption for VANOS and Valvetronic has been done several times without any errors. Also no errors checking with OBD and ISTA/INPA. That is so strange for me. Even CO level in exhaust gases are zero, so engine burns A/F mix quite good.
