Best bet is take the negative terminal off the battery for 15 minutes and then Put it back and start the car. Let the dme reset itself. See if that works.

Were you in INPA or NCS?
You need fresh installs and try to reset everything to defaults.
Sounds like you may have reset adaptations.
Have you tried going for a drive?
This thread needs to be stickied as to why you should not mess with powerful programs without having a firm understanding of what you're doing.

I got the fluctuating idle and CEL. I shut it off, then left my foot off the clutch and pressed the start button and held the gas pedal to the floor for about 10 seconds.

Hi Grant,
the problem is, I am confused right now.
With NCS, I am 99% sure I did not click F3 execute job button when close NCS.
With INPA, I downloaded multiple INPA program and ran it with cable hooked up. diagnose was failed, but I do not think I did something there. All I did tried was going to kaser > airbag > tried to retrieve code that's all, but error box kept came up.
Could you briefly explain how to reset everything?
I do have my original file.
*As of right now, I am working to fresh install NCS again, but new error box keep come up about win32.dll and such and such, I will figure this out and let you guys updated. I don't think I can sleep.

I can't get INPA or NCS work now so clearing CEL myself isn't going to work.

This probably doesn't help but to read/clear errors I do the following. Or a simple module reset would've cleared errors provided there's no faulty hardware. You must have pressed something while in inpa.. Sorry and good luck.

EDIT.. ok glad your car is working now. LOL

1 -Start INPA
2-Press F9 to select E90
3-Click Functional Jobs
4-Press Enter
5-Press F4 to select E90
6-Press F4 to select Error Memory
7-Press F1 to Read Error Memory or the F something to Clear Errors

No problem. Free is DME only. Other modules will require a license. I haven't released the additional module support yet.
