It could be the engine control module. Try to get a good used module from the junkyard and try your luck. All the best !!

I have replaced my 1993 318isa module two times myself!! GOOD LUCK!

- Before you replace the module, replace the TPS first ( make sure you get a brand new Throttle Sensor), since it is a lot cheaper.
