Good vid man. I have a 2003 330i that will crank but not starting. All my fueses are fine so will test the relay today. Also had a problem with the expansion tank a few months ago, they're a bastard in these cars.
Thx for the video, I'm having the same problem and going to try the relay before the pump, fuses are OK and I'm not throwing codes.
No problem! I hope the video helps. All the best! 🙂
did that solve it ?
Hey man, that was a great video. I do have a question for you. Did you check the relay before you swapped it? (I know it ended up being the relay), BUT I mean did u get to touch it when turning it on, did you feel (& hear ) the relay click when you would turn the car cranking? I've done everything you did at the beginning EXCEPT for swapping the relay BECAUSE I felt it clicking so my guess would be ITS WORKING... right?? But that's why I'm asking to see if I might be wrong in thinking that just cause i can feel the clicks on relay.
Hey, thanks for watching! 🙂 when I switched the relay sadly I didn't touch it to see if there was a click. I'd suggest swapping it with the horn relay that is in there and see if it works. Best of luck mate!
i have a e46 as well and i did a jead gasket replacement and when i went to turn it on it would just crank and crank but then after a while the crank will slowly stop then cut all power
was your car throwing any codes when it wouldnt start?
Possibly P0174
Super helpful!
Hi I have a 2003 330i and I have a crank no start problem it's definitely not my battery or relay. When I check the fuel rail should fuel be squirting out or spewing. Would it be my fuel pump or fuel filter I can definitely hear my pump work too or do you think its weak and not sending enough fuel through
Hi! Just so you know, i'm not a certified mechanic or professional so please take anything I say with a grain of salt :) If you check the fuel rail and there is fuel coming out of this then the engine should be getting fuel, if the pump primes then it might not be the issue. maybe the filter? Have you tried spraying starter fluid into the intake?( be careful not to use to much if you do) I found this thread on e46fanatics that'd come in handy when trying to figure out what was wrong. www.e46fanatics.com/threads/e46-no-start-%E2%80%93-list-of-possible-causes.1011677/ Hopefully it can be of some help
@@MotoMarauder thanks man I really appreciate you
anytime! I hope your car is up and running soon. Best of luck!
Hey bro got the same problem , what’s the relay part number ? I’m going to change that next … thank you for the info
anytime mate its mfg# 61368373700
Hey bro mine is a 2003 … would it b the same relay ?
@@josegomez9841 it should prob be the same, you can check on sites like ecstuning and filter to your exact car in case the parts are different. But for a fuel pump relay, it's likely to be the same
I have the same issue and have replaced many parts exept the relay. Before you replaced the relay did you test the fuel rail. Was the fuel dribbling out or spraying?
Did you fix your problem?
Checking the fuel rail was one thing i'd missed when working on this issue, i tried using spraying starter fluid and when the car fired up once i sprayed and died again when i stopped i'd assumed it wasn't getting any fuel. After replacing the pump (it was already going bad) i assumed it may be a relay because the car did have electrical problems when we purchased it (not related to this issue) and swapped it out as a last ditch effort that day before ordering a fuel filter.
Great vid bruv.
Thank you!
come to fabulous freddy's big bro
if i'm ever down in the states & in the area for sure!
I wish he showed how to get the relay out
Pull and twist slightly...
Really do appreciate you bro
Hey! I'm glad you found the video helpful! I'm happy you enjoyed it! ✌️😁
Mine doesnt doesnt transfer the fuel from another tank why
I never experienced this issue myself yet and i'm not a certified mechanic but from researching it a bit on google my guesses would be to check the fuel pump or to check the hose that pulls fuel from one side of the tank to the other, in case its not connected properly. Best of luck mate, if you get it figured out let me know. I'd love to know the fix in case it ever happens to me in the future 👍
Could be starter switch
ended up being the fuel pump relay. So i removed the relay from the horn and used that in the spot for the fuel pump relay. It works now, but i need to order a relay for the horn
You are Not showing the fuel pump relat
Am doing this today,🙏🏾
update?
Fucking hell i have the same problem , exatly. Now i gona order relay . Thanks for video
Anytime! 😁 let me know how it goes! Best of luck mate!
