540i Surge on stratup; Idle wont settle down
540i Surge on stratup; Idle wont settle down
OK here goes..
I just got my car back from my indy. He swapped in a rebuilt trans, water pumps (main and aux),
Before I left, I confirmed with him that ALL fluids and torques were double checked and good.
ONe thing I noticed when I left was the RPMS would surge up to 2K on startup then setle back down to 650-700 RPM.
In rush hour traffic it ran OK , shifts were good, idle was good.
After about 25-30 miles of driving I noticed it was not shifting out of 1st. RPMS would go to 2500-3000 so I backed off.
Figuring it was just the adaptive program, I pulled over and shut down, then dired it up again. Same thing after driving 1/2 a mile or so.
I limped home and parked it.
Disconnected the battery and left it overnight.
Checked and DEOXed the MAF connector just in case.
Fire it up this morning and the same idle surge.
Now it's throwing a Engine Check Light AND a Trans Code.
Idles only down to 1000; if I shut down and restart sometimes it's 2000.
My Peake reader says 51
No 51 Code on the code list for a 94 540iA
Any suggestions as to where to start?
Thanks in advance.
