I have the Mercedes dealer tool Star diagnostic. It's not the throttle body, and the pedal is fine. The voltages for the two potentiometers in the TB are not at the right value coming from the ecu, with the correct proms for the car. When I put the parts car proms back in I get the correct voltage but obviously no start.
I guess it's obvious, just trying to understand why the throttle body would be tied into the immobilizer when it already doesn't allow it to crank if there is an issue.

Well that worked but didn't fix the issue. Thanks for searching what I failed to imagine.
So the reason for doing this. Throttle wouldn't actuate, plugged in parts car ecu and it would move with car in on position but wouldn't start. Swapped eproms and it started but won't actuate throttle. Swapped old proms back and actuates.
Now the question; The proms have malfunctions restricting throttle actuation? That seems like the obvious answer. Just would like to hear some input, because most people doing this are from eukaslavia and don't give details or make sense. Sinking in uncharted waters here

commonly had failing LCD screens in the gauge cluster. Well, that screen was replaced for free by Mercedes under a recall but I forget what the time frame was on it.
Mine is all good must have been claimed already.

Shiiiit I'm gonna hit this up tomorrow. I guess I wasn't searching right i was just searching ecu swap, didn't even think about swapping proms.

Ecu, climate control module/unit, and driver side seat belt retractor module went bad. Haven't ran the car in a month and battery was to week so I put a jump pack on. I think that might be related but no idea.
So the good news, swapped the climate control unit, there were some dead pixels in the old one and the parts car one was perfect so that's a win. Seat belt retractor in do time, srs warning.
Bad news, ecu has to be replaced with a matching set as follows. Ezs (ignition switch module) with key, shifter module, and ecu. "Well you have a parts car so that should be all good" no, ezs is fried, not just literally.
My options are
find a matching set (very hard for s55 plus needs to be keyless go)
Buy a new one from the dealer $1000 and program it.
final option which I'm going to do. Send to the tuner who can virginize the parts Ecu and use the whatever ma whos on the old one to make it work.
I figured I would share this, as for the base edition person this would be detrimental. $$$

Tires look awesome, glad I didn't make you pay for the valve. I have spare solenoids if you need them.

Exhaust piping came in. $26 shipped for 7.5' of mild steel seemed like a really cheap price. This will be the replacement for the muffler that was completely destroyed. Surprisingly the car isnt ungodly loud without a muffler so I figured this would help to wake it up a little.
Still waiting on the correct steering components to get here so I can finish that up.
Is it galvanized? Kinda hard to tell

Good read, and yet another successful cross-country journey for a car with a roundel on it. I always chuckle when I see how many people talk about BMW reliability and how you "can't trust those cars to travel anywhere"
They are so unreliable and expensive to fix.

If you hold the rest button while the car is running you can scroll through what all the sensors are reading.

I'm hourly, so I'm the one that gets screwed then. I got a space heater now. If one of you jokers is an engineer for Carrier... They used a composite pulley and it eats belts every month because it gets hot and now finally exploded. The unit is only 2 years old...
Carriers go through belts like crazy. On newer TKs thier belts are on a 10,000 hour maintenance interval.

It's just a vw, can't be too expensive.

I've had to rebuild 3 pumps in my life and it is very tedious. It isn't a common thing, usually get a new pump or reman but if there is none available and it's a "they need the truck thing" then the rebuild kit it is.
First time I went in thinking I'll be able to pull this sucker apart and have it back together in a hour. Miserable fail, it took hours.

If you don't mind me asking how much was the pump?
You could use a socket to get the crush washers on or electrical conduit looks like it might match up.
