EML + traction control and crazy idle

Hey guys..



So I just got my 2001 330Ci running again after a few months as I had been super busy with work (out of time) and holidays/ect. We I just got the starter in 2 nights ago and everything was running perfect. Today I took the car for a short drive (going to pickup a package) about 5kms away. I puled out and spun the tires a bit on some ice. 10 seconds later (when I reached the stop sign) the EML and traction control lights popped up and idle was bouncing around 500-1500 rpm and I had 0 power.. I pulled over and restarted the car and no lights but still a wacky idle. I left it for about 2 mins and then it got fairly steady around around 1krpm. I give it a bit of gas and the rpms just drop (straight from 1000 to around 300 and then back). I thought maybe an issue with the MAF so I unplugged it and tried again and same thing. I left it for a few mins and poped the battery off. Started it and idle was ok and appeared to be fine. I turned around and started back home. Then same issue with EML and traction lights and horrible idle. I turned car off/on and it went away for a couple mins. then I get to my driveway and it takes me 5 mins to get it into the driveway as idle is not allowing me to accelerate (I couldn't make it up the small slope). I get it into position and plug in my battery tender and leave it (I also noticed oddly enough that the fan was still running for the rad.. I went out 30 mins later and it was off).



I am going to go out with BMW scanner and see if it brings up any codes tomorrow. But curious if anyone has any ideas. I had a similar issue last year that I believe the code was for IAC control valve. I poped it off and cleaned it and the issue gradually went away..



Also the car is tuned from AA with a stage 2 blower and the last 2 days the weather has been pretty nice out around 10 degrees C while today it was around -10 C. Also seems odd how it only happened right after spinning my tires on some ice.



Thanks and I will update tomorrow with any codes but if anyone has any advice in the meantime that would be great.
