P0226 Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch C Circuit Range/Performance Problem
P0227 Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch C Circuit Low Input
P0228 Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch C Circuit High Input
What I found out is that these cars have a Hall Effect TPS on the gas pedal and (one or two mechanical variable restor types on the MAF. More than likely the issue is the mechanical restor type. Having said that, does you car still have the throttle cable? Anyway something to check.

Yeah, so this is somewhat confusing. I think the issue here is difference between "BMW codes" and "std OBDII trouble codes". I'm not sure of the specifics of why there are two sets (other than to say "because BMW") or what all of the mappings are, but here's a good thread that does some mapping for the codes in question:

Because I'm using the BT cable and not a generic OBDII reader, it's giving me the BMW specific codes. So my codes were BMW codes 227 and 228 (not P0227 and P0228), which map to std trouble codes P0171 and P0174 - the same codes you had with the cracked boot. I assume if I had used a generic OBDII reader I'd have gotten P0171 and P0174.
