Problems with JB4 on B58

Just finished installing the JB4 on my 2016 340i, along with a autowerk catless DP and a AGP intake. At idle the car sounds like its choking, I tried both map 1 and 2 so far while driving around and it seemed fine, but whenever I park the car it would keep choking. Going to not drive for now until I find out whats wrong, don't want to damage it by accident. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure if the version can contribute but have you tried updating the firmware? I installed the JB4 on my buddies B48 but threw a drivetrain malfunction. Updated it and it resolved. Worth a try

All three at same time ? Isolate and debug and flash instead. It's 2020 and sure it's a crappy year but you can flash the ECU in 2020

Yeah I did them all together, wasn't too bad at all. I double checked everything and it's all properly installed, these are the following codes from JB4:
121533 boost pressure sensor, plausibility: Pressure upstream from throttle at motor stand
118002 Mixture ECU: mixture too rich
118001 Mixture ECU: mixture too lean
1F140A No Description Found

Edit: sorry also updated the firmware, didn't help

I don't want to get in a which tune is better debate, that's been done on here a million times. In my personal opinion and experience, a flash tune is the way to go and solves a ton of problems. I had a Jb4 on my 2014 335i before going with BM3 and the entire time I was chasing down lean codes, rich codes, AFR codes, etc. I was constantly put in map 4 and a bunch of posts later on n54 tech and I could never get it solved. Changed intake, changed gas, with no success. Flashed BM3 and never looked back, which I also now have on my 340. A lot of people can get them dialed in I guess but I wasn't one of them, when it worked it was good but just way too inconsistent. Good luck, I hope you get it solved but to me with all flash tune success now, it's the only way to go. Just my .2

I had a similar problem, car would misfire like crazy before dying out. It was a firmware issue with the JB4, it hadn't updated properly. Just did another update and everything was good. So I would try with that, and double check all your connections.

Post up a JB4 log that may shed light on the problem.

Data log

So the choking, shaking at idle was fixed by just removing the O2 sensor extension i bought for the DP, it was some amazon one and I guess it was messing with the computers.... anyways after that everything seems fine thank god. Heres a data log run in map 3 starting in 3rd gear.

That's pretty useless, but shows your are pulling significant timing in cylinder 1.

Awesome thanks! Here's two logs I took, one from a standard pull at 3rd gear, and another from just driving around for a little.
