My Proceed is also from 2014, thus I presume it is designed with the same logic; as previously said, they only oscillate left and right beyond walking speed.

Re: My vehicle fails to start after the throttle body reset.

That will not facilitate airflow; nevertheless, it will not prevent initiation. There must be a significant amount of oil circulating through the turbo for it to be that detrimental. On my last ALFA, it was very clean; I installed a catch tank, and the EGR input was positioned beyond that valve.

Re: My vehicle fails to start after the throttle body reset.

Assuming it is the C220 CDI in your sidebar, it does not possess a throttle, similar to other CDI vehicles.

BMW M Sport Enigma

Esteemed Colleagues I own a 2007 BMW M Sport 325, unleaded, automatic, equipped with an all-electric sunroof, and it has just 74,000 km.
