Thank you guys! I have been working on my son's E39 for a couple of days. The issue was the 20 amp fuse under the cabin filter.
This video was a life safer. The tip about the "Key in Ignition" trick saved me a ton of work and money. Using this trick I was able to get my project car fired right up with a simple $70 valet key replacement!!! Can't thank you enough..
what's the "key in ignition" trick? i watched twice and didn't hear anything about it.
I have watched your videos throughout the entire of my project and it’s been an absolute pleasure watching. This is my first bmw 325 I bought it for 500 bucks in great condition with a blown head gasket. Ran and drove no problem minus the usual head gasket issues. I get the car together everything is good except it won’t have constant flow through the injectors again everything was working fine. It will pop off and die once and not again unless it sits
Timing of this video couldn't be any better, my project car was cranking but not starting, she started up today! Thanks for the help guys!
Thanks for letting us know what your problem was and how you fixed it...
I've watched a bunch of your videos and you've really helped me on my son's E46 - enough so that I bought an E39 with a crank no start condition a few weeks ago prior to you publishing this video.
Here's my input that may or may not help some folks:
1) checked fuel - fuel pump hum and ~50# of fuel pressure at the rail
2) spark on all 6 plugs
3) air intake hoses okay but CCV drain hose split which was expected due to other codes. Replaced CCV and related hoses.
4) crank sensor showed RPMs during cranking
5) exhaust cam sensor had a code but checked okay
6) intake cam sensor did not show any codes so I assumed okay
7) performing a compression check when the battery died - a couple of cylinders were showing low compression - odd for an engine with 130k miles. Pulled all the plugs while the battery recharged
8) learned that if the MAF could possibly cause a no start but if it is disconnected it would still run
9) reinstalled plugs before completing the compression test and disconnect the MAF - car started!
10) checked by reconnecting MAF and it started again and has ever since.
I think the car was flooded (with fuel) which can occur with a cold start and then shut down.
This was my case, suddenly me e39 (m52b25tu) was driving fine a few hours prior before i parked it and when i got in i did a cold start but accidently let my fingers slip off the key so that the engine didnt crank long enough to start. I ofcourse tried to start it but it oddly didnt, so assuming it went into safe mode not causing fuel floods as the next morning i got in and it started fine. So guessing pulling the battery did the trick to fix it.
Hi 50s kid! I've been watching your videos quite a bit and have learned so much about fixing my 99 328i. I just wanted to thank you for the help??? Thanks kid!
man what good content creator are you, just straight up helping people! sub!
I had a crank no start since this morning. Watched your video - yep it’s the fuel pump. Thank you!
Interestingly, adding a can of fuel (5L) got it going again for a while… but it’s come back.
Thanks for video. I was having a starting problem with my Z4 E85 3.0. I guess I screwed up EWS III when playing with the scan tool. I reset it and the car started right up. Your Schrader valve tip was a HUGE time saver. Thanks Brothers.
Bought 2 cam and 1 cps from wish and waited 2 weeks for them, total cost 17$ all 3 have run for 80k miles now perfectly. Talk about lucky!def go oem. A side note when my cps and cam sensors failed I pulled the plug on my maf and let it run on it's baseline. Had 0 problems but that's an i.c.e setting and only to get yourself home.great video bud ty
Nice vid guys, it helped me find my fuel pump fuse blown! Thanks.
Man, I cant thank you enough for these videos. Seriously, every time I embark on a e46 repair, I watch your video on it and it saves me SO much time and frustration! I think youre in Van Nuys, and I'm in Granada hills. I owe you a round of drinks if you're ever up for it!
I guess Im asking randomly but does someone know of a method to get back into an Instagram account??
I somehow lost the password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Tony Saint instablaster =)
@Van Morgan Thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and im trying it out atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Van Morgan it worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my account !
@Tony Saint glad I could help =)
Thank you very much , you guy are amazing. Explain every detail we can get. Thank so much for the vedio.
Keep up the good work. You guys are great team. Your save life, I appreciate you both.
Great information there guys :)
You guys are awesome!!!
You guys Rock ! Thank you.
Hey 50skid
Can you do a video on no crank no start? More based on the DME and wire harness?
Hi, thank you for the great content about BMW! It helped a lot many times!
Meanwhile, I have noticed my timing on e46 n42 is off, does it mean I have to do Timing chain, etc. ?
I can tell by spinning the shaft, the chain gets either loose or tense. Please help
Great video.
Hey @50skid
My bmw e46 has good cranking power, did do a fuel compression test just by priming the fuel and saw some fuel squirt out with some compression. My neighbor had a spark plug tester and he said he saw spark in cylinder 1 and still can’t get it to fire up! Your videos are awesome by the way. I had a code last time I took it to get my service engine light checked and it said it was running lean so I’m wondering what to do next. Should I go and buy a Diagnostic scanner and see what codes it’s throwing out? Not a real knowledgeable guy on mechanics but do love to get my hands dirty and learn so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Hey bro ur video is helpful,my issue was the ignition fuse burn inside the box with the DME the cause of the problem was my oil level sensor shorted and burn the ignition fuse thank you guys
Hello, I know this is quite a bit to ask but I believe one of my intake cylinder head valves was bent after I finished replacing the valve cover gasket. I made sure all the connections were tight and back in the right spot. Car misfires really loudly, shakes violently, loud metal banging sound, and then dies after a minute of this. Would it be possible for you to make a video on how to replace one of these? I've looked around but can't seem to find a full step by step. Car is a e46 330ci 120,000 miles
This is great! :)
Great information. Wonder whether Ismail still accept calls in 2023? bimmer logic website does not appear to have him name.
Hi 50sKid, what do you exactly mean by "... maybe cranked with the vanos out..."?
What exactly is vanos in this case? Is it these two toothed weels where the chain is mounted on or do you mean these two vanos solenoids with the electrical connectors on them?
If you mean the two toothed wheels, I can imagine that the timing would be off if cranked without them but can timing be off by cranking without those two solenoids plugged in into the engine case?
Great videos man!!! Your work helped me out a lot! Thank you!
One thing you didn't mentioned with Fuel. My E46 would crank and not start. I thought it was the pump. It turned out to the be the fuel regulator (over fuelling). The regulator on my E46 was part of the Fuel Filter.
had a crank no start issue with my m52 some time ago. It was cylinder wash down. had to pour a table spoon of oil in each spark plug hole. started right up.
E49 irritating me but thanks for the information I will check those things on my car
Question could changing out the pan oil sensor on a 1998 540ia cause a no start? I changed the ignition with a new one. checked the fuses! Still does not start!
Jason are you going to publish new videos soon? also how can i ask you a question regarding my 2005 218K miles 325I.
What can it be if car starts sometimes and still its very hard to start and if I turn car off and start few seconds later it starts just fine, but with like a 1s crank but if I leave it for an hour, its again very hard to start, or sometimes u can't even start it, I have E46 320d 110kw or 150hp
My 46 beached itself today... I dropped the key pretty hard when getting out and now suddenly ,y starter won’t kick in and won’t bump start... pretty sure the key isn’t completing the handshake with the dme. Can I delete ews with inpa?
Hello, I have an issue after I changed my ccv system. When I accelerate normally from the stop, the engine cuts down. I have no power to, and when the rpm drops down the engine stops too, like it needs more air. The iddle is stable. Which mystake could have I done pls? Thanks
I have an 01 325xi i replaced the fuel filter and got the back hoses mixed up and primed fuel into the return nipple of the filter the car didnt start obviously after realizing this and fixing the hoses.... the car now will not prime fuel at power on ie the fuel pump isnt turning on and the car clicks the starter doesnt crank then the steering column locks the ley from trying to start agian until i turn it off and back on i dont know what to do at this point im scratching my head fuses are good batt is good is there a safety limp because it didnt have fuel the first time i tried? Plz help thanks
Hey guys, I have a 98' 528i. It was throwing a camshaft position sensor circuit a code, so I replaced the sensor twice with oem-brand parts, and while I still have a check engine light and the code remains, the performance was not effected (did the sensor 6 months ago).
It wasn't until recently that I started having some issues. It randomly would crank no start, and you couldn't even push it start it. This would happen after driving the car, turning it off for a couple minutes, and trying to turn it back on. It would do this a lot at some point, until recently I replaced the CRANKshaft position sensor, and it went back to normal, and wouldn't do it, for the most part.
When it had the issue, you would let it sit for 10 minutes, and it would start right up.
However, today I went out to the car, and it wouldn't start at all, even after sitting all night. Battery levels are perfectly fine and all the interior lights are perfect. It would crank super strong, and but wouldn't fire at all.
The exact same thing it had before, but this time it didn't have to do with me driving it before.
Something interesting is that in the past few days my key fob wouldn't unlock the car at random points after sitting for an hour or more, and my key wouldn't even unlock the doors in the physical door itself. Funny enough, I found a solution that would it to work again is unlocking the trunk with the key, and closing the trunk. Every time I've had this issue, the key fob/door lock would work perfectly fine immediately. It's like it resets it or something. Don't know if it is related at all, but thought it would be a possibility. Any thoughts on this?? Could it be the camshaft sensor wiring? Any help would be hugely appreciated! Thank you!
Did you figure it out?
2000 E39 fuel pump relay is in the rear battery side second green relay. Swap them with each other first.
Will a bad vanos job cause crank no start? I also changed the timing wheel since I knew it would be accessible.
Sos help
Will a faulty IBS throw multiple codes and prevent the fuelpump from " waking up"?
When it comes to fuel pumps on a E46 you should be able to hear it kick in when the key is turned. If you don't check the fuses and the relay. In my experience I see the relays fail much sooner than the actual pump. The fuses are easy to get to while the relay check requires you to pull the glove box.
Hi I have a E39 2.5d and my problem is that it starts instantly when cold but when warmed up it won't, so I replaced the crank shaft sensor on top of the motor still the same problem and the file pump appears to be building plenty of pressure. But there is a leak on one of the injectors and sometime while driving the injection error comes up could this be the problem while starting when warm?
Hi, i need help with my car problem, the problem is my car crank but won't start, i checked injector signal, there's no signal, i checked ignition coil, there's also no signal, then i checked all fuse and relay, there's no fault. After that i checked all the wiring on engine, there's no problem with the wire harness, lastly i checked the ecm/ecu, i bring it to ecu repair shop they checked no faulty and i pay charge for checking usd60, after that, i try to start again, its still won't start, then i bring the ecm/ecu again to the bmw agent for checking with charge usd100, they also said there's no faulty with the ecu/ecm. I checked the fuel pump its working, i checked the pressure of fuelpump its working perfect. I checked the immobiliser, also no problem, Im still wondering with the problem and why my ignition coil and injector no power and no signal. Fault code on obd is P0341, P101b and P1061 , i tried clear, after a few minutes its appear again, anyone know what the problem? My car BMW 320i E90 2006, engine N46
Do a turbo on the x3 please
Hi my BMW 520d e60 was parked during lockdown I kept starting it until the battery was died and run out of diesel so eventually I put some diesel recharged batteries but it wouldn't start. INPA ISTA GIVES same errors all 4 glow plugs code 4222 4212 4232 4242 could it be glow plugs unit control or DDE relay do you have any idea the cranks but doesn't start. I did resync dde cas .

Hello 50ies! While cranking, tachometer does not move. What can be deducted from this? Btw, useful videos!
Hi I have 2005 BMW X 3 , Have been fighting a no crank no start for a few years ..I have added a push button to the wire on the left side of the starter with the key in the on position car starts and runs fine … Have checked every relay and fuse I could find need help .. only drive the car for 5 months out of the year and love it but would be nice if I just turned the key and it would start . now BMW dealers up north in Canada LOL …….
My e46 has an crank intermittent no start. When it does start the first time it takes two cranks to start then after that usually once it warms up it will start up first crank or sometimes after turning my car off and while sitting for moment then trying to start it will just keep cranking no start than start right up after that try.
Dude, i have the same problem code is 2373 manipulation protection, how you fix this? Recode the module? I'm using INPA for scanning, and tried to ECU-EWS sycn, but the code still there and won't able to start the car (in my case it does crank but no start). And i cant hear fuel pump sound anymore, could it be bad fuel pump or thr relay? Please help, thank you . . .
I just changed out my starter which was such a pain and now I have a crank but still no start. I also had changed my battery prior to that. Starting to feel defeated.
Hey , i have a problem with my e46 320ci 54engine , only huppens after car sits many hours , my car crank but i dont hear the fuel pump working , so i check the connection to see if the pump get power and all good , so if i turn the key to position 2 a few times , usualy 6-7 times the pump starts and the engine work fine for the rest of the day , if the car sits 2.3h car starts just fine ,starts normal runs smooth no intreruptions , So not sure what to do .Do i need a new pump ? Or is any other component responsable For my pump not to start ? Hope u got some spare time to answer. Thank you
Im looking for some help I have all but spark and I cannot figure out why the car won’t start
I am completely stumped. I have a crank, No start on my 2004 330Xi. I moved it, in my driveway, then when I returned to move it back, it started for a split second and died. It has not run since. About 2 weeks ago. I have checked all the usual suspects. Fuses, fuel, spark, and replaced both camshaft sensors and the crankshaft sensor. Still won’t start. Could it be my ECM? I don’t know what’s left.
The Issue that I am having with my e46 is during summer when Weather is above 90 degrees and the sun has been hitting the hood it won’t crank or start. I have to wait till sun down or night for it to start.
would be nice if you would show where this valve is. and where to press.
Does the e39 540i have a Schrader valve?
What if your relay wire leading to the ecu burns
That little 20amp fuse...how the heck does that cover come off of it?! I’ve tried everything. I’m terrified of breaking the plastics housing.
4 minutes in, I took the intake off without disconnecting the battery, something in the harness shorted and it blew a 30a fuse in that small fuse pack.
spent a while trying to figure that one out.
Can you do a video on installing a push button start switch on an e46? I’d love to learn how to do that!
That is in the pipeline of my projects. Stay Tuned!
I have 2004, 330Ci it was running fine until one day it stop running, it cranks but no start, need your help, there is no power to the fuse Ebox (20 amp) check the fuel relay socket behind the glove box, I have power on terminal No 6 from fuse No 54, No power from terminal No 8 from Fuse No 3 from Ebox, no ground from DME terminal No 4.
Thank you in advance
I need help with my 320d e46.....its cranking but wont start ...... The fuel pump does prime alot of diesel..... But on the rail line there is no pressure at all even when cranking... Its jst dripping.... With no pressure....
And it will not necessarily throw code unless you have a completely failed sensor. If your sensor returns any kind of signal back to the DME it will not throw code. Eventually with enough cranking you may get a synchronization code but most times unless it's 100% dead you won't.
Hi Both, Great video and must say love all your videos- been very helpful, thanks so much. I do have a crank no start issue and through ages of fault finding I'm still not starting. I have no fuel pump priming or pressure on cranking. I have no incoming signal to the fuel pump relay, but relay itself and all fuses have been tested and are good (including bank of 5 in the engine bay). When turning key to position 2 the relay doesnt click open. I'm led to believe it was something to do with the EWS - DME sync code but I have tried resetting this (well in BMW Scanner 1.4 it seems to just say "EWS-DME adaptation"- is that the right thing?? Either way i did this successfully and also recoded my instrument cluster as Ismail talks about. Still have the same problem... No incoming signal to fuel relay. I'm really banging my head against the wall. I presume the EWS is good and ignition is good as i get cranking and also get 12v delivered to my coil packs when cranking. Its a real challenge- Can you help please?
Is it possible that an e46 will not turn on because the orings of the vanos do not seal properly?
Mine is intermittent, what could it be?
All five fuses are good
BMW 535i E39 - engine is warm then it falls out and you can’t strat en have wrong explosions. What’s the problem
Hello I have a problem please help me I have a Bmw e39 520 yer 96 engine rolls not exceeding 5 thousand laps
Seeing digital multimeter to check a cam or a crank sensor, unless you're multimeter has a super fast sample rating you're not going to get a verification of a good or bad reading. It's simply too fast for most multimeters to be able to pick it up. Now if you have an old school analog meter with this the arm you can check with those if you see the arm sweep back and forth you got a good sensor if not you got a bad sensor.
I have a 1997 BMW Z36 cylinder the car was running fine one day it just shut off and now it just cranks but won’t start I put a new fuel pump it was not the fuel pump please help because I’ve been to three mechanics and neither one of them could find out what’s wrong please help

What about power to the injectors?
You guys are great. Maybe you can help me with my 2004 e46 cabrio. I have crank but no start issue as well. All the fuses are OK and I replaced the Fuel Pump OEM relay . The only way the car starts is with starting fluid sprayed into the Intake. No fuel in the fuel rail (Schrader valve doesnt produce any fuel) so I decided to change the fuel pump with pump from Bosch and a new fuel filter. Unfortunately there is still no fuel pressure in the fuel rail. What should I do next? The car cranks and starts with starter fluid only despite the new fuel pump. Please help
found the solution ?
@@zlabfab487 yes, lol. When changing the fuel filter, I reconnected the fuel lines incorrectly. Two fuel lines go to fuel filter from the tank, i connected the return line to the main line and the main one to the return line. After correcting it, the car started after few cranks and after sitting for over 2 years in the garage. Such a rookie mistake, lol

Any reason why car have issues starting when cold? New battery 900ccA, spark plugs, fuel pump. Turns no start. Have to jump it
Could fuel filter cause it. No codes . My other suspicion is injectors
How about when it cranks but does not start and the temp gauge goes to red when the car is cold. The problem comes and goes away, but it is very frustrating when it happens
Hey 50sKid.
I got a big problem with my '03 E46 325 xi
It won't start but seems to crank. It started with the battery light turning on. And then while driving it slowly started dying. The battery seems to be good since the lights come on.
I tried turning it on this morning and it did turn on. But started vibrating bad and like all the lights on the dashbiard come on.
I recently replaced all spark plugs and ignition coils.
And also replaced the MAF sensor.
It did misfire before this issue with not turning on properly.
What do you think?
Did you end up resolving the issue? I’m having the same issue with the same year car and model.
Could you do steering angle sensor diy please

Can anyone help me? I got a 2000 323ci and recently took off the fuel rail and now my car will crank and idle for about a second before it dies and shuts off.
@50skid I see everyone is asking questions. I have a few concerns with my 2003 330i w/ 56,000 miles. Every once in a while the car cranks and takes about 4 additional seconds to start. Also only at high way speeds, when I accelerate the power seems to surge on and off very quickly and same when increasing cruise control. Drives normal and accelerates fine a low speeds. Any ideas?
3 years late my apologies, Sounds exactly like fuel loss / starvation. Fuel filter blockage causes symptoms and the push pull movement on at hwy speed . Fuel filter is normal preventative maintenance that is most often forgotten. Thx Ron
Hello. I have a crank no start situation. I replaced the fuel filter(new), fuel pressure regulator(junkyard) and crankshaft position sensor(autozone). I changed this because I replaced the head gasket. The car started prior to the repairs but no it won’t so I’m pretty sure a fuel pump would not die like that. I don’t really smell any fuel while cranking and I can’t say for certain if the fuel pump is running. Any recommendations??
george lewis did u find out the problem ?
Wat was the problem
My e46 330i will start 99% of the time, but once in a while it will crank crank as long as i hold the key and wont start, but if i let go and try again it will fire right up, has new fuel pump, new febi camshaft sensors, i used a chinese crank sensor and thats my only worry, if you guys have any idea pls let me know? The car doesnt stall, idles perfectly, also it takes a little longer to start on cold start, maybe 2 more cranks, and at times it does it when engine is warm too, but its good most of the time

Not related but I need info. Please help. I’m doing an auto to manual swap. Do I also need to replace the Dif
If you don't replace it, the car will be much faster because you will have really short gears. You will have to shift twice as fast and your max speed will be like 100mph. Most kids love this but I personally wanted a more balanced car, so i got the manual diff to make it a little less quick and give it a higher cruising speed.
