Default Error Codes P1632 and P1515

E60 2005 530i
215,000 miles
The car turns on but is in limp mode. RPM dial is jumping up and down as if it was revving on its own. It throws out two codes P1632 and P1515. Control Module Throttle Actuator Position Performance andElectromotive Throttle Actuator. I installed a new throttle body and disa valve recently and problem still persists. Anyone else go through this and found the problem? Thanks.

Did you check to see if there was a crack in the intake boot? Also check battery

Yeah, sounds like a leak. I can understand how it would throw an actuator code. If it can't compensate for the leak, it would assume that the actuator is the culprit. Maybe, but not always.

I did. Inspected the boot when i installed the throttle body. Zero cracks. The crazy thing is that when i put the car in drive, it seems to stabalize.

You need to do a smoke test.
