    How do i do that? By dismantling the input manifold and taking a look inside?

    The cars idling seems to be fixed though, it still hasn't started up yet with problems. So i guess the hpfp change was a good thing that was changed... so far.

    Why do you want to know where i am located? What good will that do?

    Now this sounds like a low punch. I pay much more for gas than you do. In my country 1L=1.6euro do the math compared to fuel in the US and youll see im right.

    That is another low punch from you. Let me ask, is there someone in here that claims to change oil frequently and below 90.000km has done a carbon blast?

    Where are you is a simple question because if you were in the USA we have lots of non Dealership options and they do much better work for a cheaper price.

    I don't care how much you pay for fuel and that is not a reason to not use the fuel your car requires. (Read yor manual) If you use the cheap stuff you will have issues that is a known fact. If you don't like the price you pay for fuel complain to your government or buy and EV but don't tale it out on your car.

    I don't have D.I. (Direct Injection) motor so I don't need to do carbon cleaning. :lol:
    It's really sounds like you need to do your own research and understand how your motor works and what it requires including basic maintanance and proper fueling and other fluids.

    I have an 05 with a lot of performance motor work done and I do oil changes every 2500 to 3000 miles because they are cheap insurance for performance parts. I also have a me this system installed so I have NO carbon in my motor.
    Oh as for why I only have 90 thousand miles (not km) on a 10 year old .....I work from home and do not comute to an office everyday. I still use the highest octaine I can buy. :ihih:

    Yes, you have to dismantle the intake manifold and look inside to see if you have carbon build up. Fortunately, that is not a difficult job.

    genie, first Dave is always angry and sarcastic, you will learn to love him given time.

    I don't understand if the tech suggested carbon may be a problem and we are suggested the same why not listen? I really am not trying to be unfriendly I/we want to help. Your gen mini has a carbon problem we have seen it a lot. If you can't check it you will have to take it to someone who can. Like Dave said knowing where you live will helps point you to a good shop. I understand you don't know us so you don't want to give that info, fine. Check our sponsor section and find someone near to you.

    Tech only said what all techs say, that R56S minis all have carbon issues and that we must check it through the manifold. Its not that i don't listen to what you guys say regarding the carbon, i was just curious to know if carbon could be related to the throttle issue i have! HPFP must have been faulty cause so far i haven't see any idling issues at startup.

    Yes it could be. If the car has to much carbon the airflow will not be correct this could cause odd codes. The ECU is looking at throttle position and not seeing the corect airflow, so it throughs a code. I belive this may be your problem. But it is hard to say over the Internet with out seeing the car.

    Let me make sure I under stand. The car is not running or it is running Bad and throughing codes?

    Does the car crank up and run? Can you drive it?

    It means start, does the motor start. What is your skill level for working on a car?

    Oh dear god :mad2: crank up mean starting.

    You car has a French Motor in your R56S and it is slowly surrendering like all the French due because of all the carbon build up.

    You are obviously not mechanically inclined so let someone that is fix your car.

    So you know every tech says the same thing but you still don't listen to them...... buy a bicycle.
