I would like to find out how to fix this code error. I believe its 1224 or 1222 it has to do with the o2 sensor. I changed it but this code came back up. Its the only one. It cranks up longer than normal to start and when it does its a little shakey for about 30 to 40 seconds and them it seems to idle ok. It doesn't seem to idle over 1000 rpm while cold. I checked the tps with a meter. It has 3 prawn plug so i put one test cable in the middle and the other one the top. i had cont. but when i push the pedle it did go away. I didnt try to adjust it since i was not sure it i was testing it right. Does that mean the tps is bad. Please help. I dont know BMW vehicles that well as you can see. I have worked on many cars but BMW's . Thank you. P.S If i get help I would be more than happy to donae
