  3. General BMW Questions
    My car has occasionally been running rough (not stalling but very hard to start unless I pump gas - more noticeable once car is warmed up) and my OBD2 will alternate between camshaft exhaust sensor codes, secondary air pump codes, and misfire codes. I don’t think hard start is caused by me...

    Hi, I have an 1994 318i automatic (DME M1.7) , the voltage on the crankshaft sensor connector is 5 volt, but the voltage on the camshaft sensor connector is 2,5V and drops immediately every time. Is this normal? Can anyone confirm this or has their own readings.
  5. 5 Series
    Hi All, Need some help please so I can correctly diagnose my crank to start issue. A few days ago, the car cranked for longer than usual on the way to the supermarket (2kms away). I assumed it's probably a battery issue because it's mid winter here in Victoria, Australia. On the way back from...
  6. E46 (1999 - 2006)
    I have these codes on my 323i. This is an initial reading after clearing them all, and then immediate re-start. If I start the car and let it figure out the "idle" , in only moments it will POP and Spputter. If I try to drive away, she no run so good.. NOW, if I re-start the car and force...
  7. F10 / F11 (2011 - 2016)
    So I’m looking at a 2013 528i xDrive with 91k miles, that a dude is letting go of for $4,000. The car doesn’t start, and he said he had a mechanic come over saying it’s the camshaft sensor. I checked it out myself, with a generic OBD reader and got codes P052B, P0012, P13C0, P054B, and P05CC...
  8. 7 Series - E38 (1995 - 2001)
    So my 2001 740iL acquired a cylinder 5 misfire and fuel cut off over night. When I ran the code scanner, one other code popped up. Not only was I getting the misfire code, I also got a “Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit High Bank 1 or Single Sensor” (Code P0343). I didn’t know if this code...

  10. E60 / E61 (2004 - 2010)
    My N52 engine has been giving me lots of fun times with the air flow, vanos, camshaft sensor... mixture codes. Car has 82K miles on it. I've recently replaced both Vanos solenoids, MAF sensor, Spark plugs, Coils, a bunch of the seals. I've been getting a lot of random codes that I clear and...
  11. E39 (1997 - 2003)
    I wanted to report my experience, and the final solution in hopes that it might help someone diagnose and quickly fix a similar issue like mine. It started a few months ago in my 2000 E39 with M52TU engine at 168K miles. While running, usually in city driving, after a stop at a red light etc...
  12. 7 Series - E38 (1995 - 2001)
    My check engine light came on so I took it to Autozone for a reading. Their computer showed my camshaft sensors were bad. I replace them BUT my 'check engine' light is still on. Are there some kind of codes or something that I must reset? If so, how can I do this. Thanks in advance.
  13. E90/E91/E92/E93 (2006 - 2013)
    Hello everyone, So my 328xi has been throwing some codes and acting strange and i can't figure out whats going on with it. First the codes P0430 and P0420 were coming on and off randomly when driving, those two codes are "catalyst system efficiency below threshold banks 1 & 2" which i thought...
  14. X5 E53 (1999 - 2006)
    My local indy shop here in Korea is doing some engine work so I would like your opinion as to what else I should do for PM. E53 M54 110K miles. Background: A couple months ago my expansion tank busted while driving ~100mph. I didn't see the low coolant light until 10-15 minutes later. I pull...
  15. E39 (1997 - 2003)
    My 530I is showing codes that indicate a bad Camshaft Position Sensor. I have ordered three diferent replacement sensors and even shopped at the local dealer, but none of the new ones fit! (Part #12141438081 has been replaced with Part #12147539165) They all are basically one diameter, but...

    :thumbdwn: So my vehicle just recently turned the "Service Engine Soon" Light on and I was wondering if someone would give me some advice on what it could be. File attached is the picture taken of the codes shown.
