[V8] V8 very sick

Hi,

check the wiring of the throttle 
<http://dict.leo.org/ende?lp=ende&p=eL4jU.&search=throttle> flap 
<http://dict.leo.org/ende?lp=ende&p=eL4jU.&search=flap> sensor (you find 
it beneath the engine idle valve) and - if the wires and the plug are 
okay - replace the sensor itself (if you are able to without buying a 
new one, e.g. exchange with the one from another V8). Alternatively you 
can measuse the capacities of the connecting lines - probably there is 
more information about that in the repair manual. Have you probably 
steam-cleaned your engine in the last time?

And for sure (as already mentioned): Read out the motronic failure memory.

Best regards

Bastian
