Hi everyone.
After 5 months of hibernation I took my 2.0 Zed in for it's MOT yesterday to prepare for some hopefully decent weather his season.
However, once I set off the car was extremely sluggish and under powered.
Upon my return from a successful MOT pass at the garage I scanned it for fault codes with my Autel scanner using the OBD port in the engine compartment.
It displayed the attached fault code (Fuel trim bank 1 and 2 control limit).
Can any point me in the right direction to rectify the problem please?
My first thought was to add some fresh super unleaded once it needed filling and then clean the MAF sensor with isopropyl spray if filling with fresh fuel didn't fix the issue.

Your thoughts would be gratefully appreciated.
TIA.

Try locating air leaks first. Can you smoke test the air circuit? Or can you find someone who can?
 
Mine was a leak in the pipes between the maf and the throttle. Mainly the ribbed small offshoot at the throttle end

Just taken mine off for inspection.
Not in the best condition as can be seen from the pic, so I've ordered a genuine replacement from Lookers BMW.
The connecting pipe to this was replaced last year having found a hole in it.

It needs replacing anyway way by the look of it. Hopefully that might be the cause
