It’s great to see you mentoring Abraham! He’ll grow up to be a smart man.
Bart Young Yeah! I hope he does!
-People rarely understand the BEST mechanics are the ones that can trace and diagnose problems! You do it… like nobody else!!!!
Abraham you couldn’t be at better hands 👨🏾🔧👨🏾🔧
DinhaS Thank you!! I appreciate it!
Yes, top notch, and I watch many BMW videos.
This is the best video on the N20/N26 crank no start fix video. Properly explained. This is exceptional. Thanks to Abraham too. Such a great help.
@f30hotep3 Thank you!
Great video. I really enjoyed the fact that you are thorough with the diagnosis and engaging Abraham. He will be in no time a great mechanic especially with your guidance.
hawong00168 Thank you! I appreciate it! Abraham says that He wants to be better than me, which I'm looking forward to!
Awesome troubleshooting- learned a bunch! Much appreciate you making it!
@rulebraking Thank you!
This is a heck of a technician, many shops are not qualified to work on bmw's and they'll charge a lot of money to probe around and still not fix the issue.
myke Thank you!!
Great video , I always appreciate your patience to do your best to figure out the problems and fix it professionally

Great video! My 2011 X3-28i (108K miles) cranks & would not start just like this one. It suddenly shot off at a traffic light and it went right into "P"ark and it just cranks after that. Had it towed to this mechanic which said it is the timing chain and that it would be $5,500 to fix. Having it towed home tomorrow so I can clear my mind and decide what to do. But, this video has brighten up a spot in mind brain; I will try to follow some of your diagnosis and see how far I can get. Thanks for being so thorough and complete.
@pablogutierrez74 My Pleasure! and Good Luck with your vehicle!
Same 😢
Very methodical. Excellent troubleshooting video ✔️🇦🇺🖤
Antonio Derosas Thank you!
Great video, I have the same problems. My x3. Stopped in the hwy I tried to restart but no luck. Waited 20 mts then crank the engine sundlley it starts. Mechanic said fuel pump. Now after seeing your video I will ask him to diagnose like you. Very informative video.
Rafik Arsanious Thanks! Good Luck with your car!
Great trouble shooting... thanks for taking the time to make this video.
VC My Pleasure!! Thanks
The system has 2 fuel pumps as you are already aware of. As long as the low pressure line is disconnected at the High Pressure pump I would think all would be safe. The problem with these systems is both fuel pumps have to work accurately for the engine to run. Being the engine does not even try and start is a clue something has totally failed in the fuel. system. Thank you Deo.
Richard 1 Yes! That's right my Friend!
You are the best I have seen sir 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️God bless you mpa

Good jorbe K Diagnostic and Abraham,the video is helpful thank you,bet this fuel issue in Africa here is very very common
Suleman Habib Thank you my friend!
I can't believe the engine actually started after all the suffering that poor fuel pump went through. Any other aftermarket pump probably would have totally failed. The other shop changing that module must have saw no voltage at the pump to change that component or they just do not know how to diagnose vehicles. When you go directly to the load you can immediately get an idea as to what is going on before it. Thank you Deo
Richard 1 My Pleasure!! That pump is pretty robust, I'm glad it didn't burn!
Great video and so glad you shared on YT 👍👍

One of the worst things to take away is the engine oil dipstick.
NO_EYES_ON_ME hahah you have to check the oil electronically on this vehicle!
I don't know whether to laugh or cry with such a diagnostic video
@chriszapantis532 what do you think is appropriate? Lol!!

kudos to Abraham the great mechanic who really diagnose the bad fuel pump
@samanthagwatidzo289 Yes! Thanks
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I'm having same problem on Mini cooper that shut down do to very low oil.
NOW WONT START
@larrylazure4288 thanks! check fuel pressure and compression!
In my view, this was a very educational video, you showed most of the tec matters involved, perhaps just missing the tabs on the electric connectors that need to be pressed in order to unplug them. Besides that, and as an owner of a BMW X5 it is a remainder (not that I need reminding) that BMW vehicles are prone to technical issues, not that I have had a chance to forget. Parts are expensive, and often difficult to replace, so NOT a vehicle for someone without plenty of money, or the ability and willingness to deal with the various issues that crop up.
In my view BMW vehicles are for people who can afford to buy them new and replace them after a few year's, or enthusiasts who is prepared to get a fine looking older BMW comparably cheap (they depriciate quickly for a reason) and fix it up as needed.
They are somewhat like racehorces, quick and attractive and generally rather expensive to maintain, especially if you can't do it yourself. $$$ !!! 😓
Stay safe, regards Niels 💕
@martinamadsen812 Thanks!
I look forward to part 2
Ivan Peterzell Part 2 is coming out soon!
great video thanks
dan man Thank you!!
Abraham is the man!!
M Smith Yes! he is!
As a long time BMW owner and DIYer I was immediately suspicious of that indicated half a tank level when you checked for fuel. Because of the fuel tank design, BMWs have 2 level sensors, one stand-alone one on the driver's side and one integrated in the fuel pump on the passenger side. The driver's side of the tank is siphoned into the passenger side during normal operation. When you reach half a tank, the driver's side sensor reports empty and the passenger side (on the pump) reports full, and you get the half tank shown on the gauge. If either level sensor fails you get that false half a tank reading as you saw.
Tangent360 Yes! exactly, Thanks for your comment!
Where are you located? Because I would drive across country to get you to fix my car. You are amazing!
Moose Tafa I'm located in Dickerson MD! Thank you!

Great video just wondering what scan tool you are using in video I have a autel maxysis ultra and I'm having trouble finding those 4 items you selected I have a 2003 bmw 745li crank no start I'm going to do everything in video step by step to find problem again great video
@grwilli6212 Thank you! you can use the Autel ultra to diagnose this issue, I use a snapon zeus and the autel ultra
Thanks!
@carloserazo1286 Thank you!
The one that I diagnosed had a slipped timing chain. The engine was sludge like it never had an oil change. I was shocked when I removed the valve cover. It needed a new engine.
Richard 1 Yeah, People always forget to do their routine maintenance and it ruins their engines afterwards! did you get the job to put the engine on it!
Nic video sir
Good job
👍👍👍👍
Lovepreet singh Hanjra Thank you!
Best plot twist on a repair video 😅
Jian Lim Lol!
Ok. A couple things. Great video. Great helper. Did you say you say that car didn’t have a dipstick?
Stephen Treadwell Thanks! the oil level is checked electronically!!
So at 12:19 good spark great compression fuel delivery must be the problem. Will it be no injection bad fob or just a fuel pump and or camshaft sensor issue because of a cheap oil change. I cant wait to see the resolution. Thanks great video and good to see you have a protege that will keep your legacy going for our children.
Minute 32:24 awsome simple fix especially being German engendered that really can get bad. Your son was awesome and that you for sharing your knowledge to us and your son...I hope he is If not sorry.😁👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯
Hahahaha the great thing about being a true mechanic is the ASE tests are bullshit. The variables in diagnosing a fault of the four things that make a car run is multiplexed by 100% loved the video my friend thank you.

what if these 2 wires brown and red are shorted? then what to do , nice video
@powertech6816 Thanks! if those 2 wires short out together the Pump Won't work!!
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair i wanted solution to that problem 😁
Trying to find short mines is shorted
The level sensor only measures the half tank that’s why it shows half quantity the problem is the fuel filter at the second half of the tank
Saied Abushadi the level gauge started working well after I replaced the level sensor!
What a ride...🍻🍻🍻 What would have happened if you used a current clamp to test the fuel pump...?
Electrically....the clamp would have shown good commutation not a dead fuel pump. But when no fuel was flowing....I would still have pulled the pump. Good job K!
john mwangi I like Next Level Auto Diagnostics answer, I could have not seen a fault using an amp clamp! or maybe the amperage draw was gonna be a bit lower than normal!!

Quick question do you know where the fuel pump relay is located on a 2013 BMW X3
@devinjohnson4968 it's in the fuse box in the trunk!
That's what I was wondering enemy possible I can get a picture can really use your help
No fuel? Wow. Thats crazy. Thats why the fuel pump burned up. The fuel is the lubricant for the pump. Unbelievable.
Richard 1 Yes!! That pump is pretty robust!!
Hi any help for crank no start ,no spark no injection ,tested my ecu ,removed my harness to check any open circuit but nothing any help please e90 320i
@chronicsaints6058 check compression!
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair thank you I’ll try that
Hi i do transfer case oil change after that transmission shifts has no power and car light transmission malfunction anyone know what are the cause and how to fix it? Is it need to update EGS or sensor problem? Or footwell modules problems??? Please help thanks.
@oghpsgbgn7309 you need a pro mechanic to diagnose it for you!
Good video the engine sounds very noisy and tappy
Richard Taylor Yes!
My fuel pump stopped working and suddenly it started working. I did some troubleshooting on the relay and found that I have 14volts coming in but only 9.9volts coming out to the pump. What voltage should be going out to the pump? Is my relay failing?
@nandosbeat yes! most likely!
I understand why he wants to keep the OEM, part, but if the sensor is bad OEM part, just change it out with the new aftermarket. You should have asked about the warranty in the first place.
@michaelmccormick9500 OEM all day long!
The same situation with my car
Fabio Fernandes check for fuel and spark, hopefully you have good compression on your engine!
I have a ‘13 X3 it keeps going into park when stopped at the light with auto start stop
@baddestebony3504 That's odd! check your auxiliary battery!
What is the name of the sistem you are using
Uzoka Emmanuel good work sr Mitchell prodemand
until the end is gona needa starter to..
@y22dtr1 the starter was fine my friend!
wat is name of scan tool pls bro
Abi I use the snapon Zeus and the Autel Maxisys ultra
How much there charge to fix that
brrr2777 it depends on the shop!
What if you have fuel in the rail? Still crank No start?
Train Wreck check for spark and injector pulse
No spark. How do I check for pulse?
F15 x5 n55. 1f4a10 with wastegate codes. Just replaced whole valve cover with one from fcp. Car was running fine but a strong smell of fuel had me recheck my fuel lines. After going to start the car to pressurize the fuel lines and check for leaks it would crank but not start. Checked everything except the fuel pump/module. But I’m getting fuel pressure in the rails. Even opened the ism to check the fuses. All good. Swapped ism from another n55 car I have and still no start. I’m at wits end.
Also to add. I replaced all 6 injectors with new oem injectors.
My great engineer, Please help!
Recently, a client called me to fix his 2000 Toyota Avalon car that cranked but wasn't starting.
From the onset, the car experienced several mechanical, as well as, electrical issues. Some of those problems were:-
(1) Engine Oil consumption;
(2) Engine misfire;
(3) Engine rattling;
(4) Intermittent hard starting after shutdown;
(5) Hard to engage in drive, except engine is hot; etc.
Hence, he took the car to a garage inorder to rectify the excessive Engine oil consumption and other car problems highlighted above. Consequently, the car problems exacerbated after engine rebuild by the engineer!
The car owner wasn't satisfied with his repairs because it seems the engineer was deceitful. Although the car started after the rebuild, the problems still persisted. Valves weren't grinded after engine overhaul, engine still misfired at idle and when accelerating, etc.
The engineer whose garage the car is presently being parked, requested for another engine overhau/ rebuildl. After engine rebuild the car started, the oil was mixed with water; the engine was still misfiring, rattling, etc. It was obvious, that he didn't use durable parts to do his work.
Hence, the car owner moved the car to another garage for better repairs. The new garage suggested to the car owner that another engine rebuild is pertinent for optimal engine operation.
During my conversation with this engineer, whose garage the car is presently being parked, he told me that: "when the car was first brought in, he noticed a black smoke ( maybe he was mistaken for blue smoke, at exhaust tail at idle). When accelerating, there's a loss of power, engine bucking, popping,etc. After the rebuild, the car didn't start because the mechanic didn't unlock the car with the remote but proceeded directly to cranking the engine. In addition, the security relay wasn't actuated for starting to take place. Electrician did some wire cutting around that axis which he said was corrected to factory, opened with a remote before the car started.
Fortunately, after everything, the car started again. But there was still an intermittent misfire. What the car owner said was that, 'even when the second mechanic did engine rebuild, the car still misfired. Until he personally bypassed earth from the COP wire to the solenoids very close to the fuel injector often tightened with 10mm knot and depicted with blue and green colors on the picture. Car owner verified that the reasons for the misfire from both mechanics which still prevailed, was due to the solenoid valve that wasn't opening. That's why when accelerating it experienced a loss of power, similar to that experienced by a faulty fuel pump.
After gear oil replacement and test driven by the second mechanic , smoke started emanating from the engine bay. Precisely, from the fan relay that the car owner connected by himself. Within few minutes, the car shutdown by itself as if fuel is finished. As he tried to restart it, the car refused to. Infact, when the ignition switch was turned to Acc/ ignition position, battery and fuel light was not displaying in the dashboard/ instrument cluster. However, during cranking battery light glew faintly and start. But when throttled, it would shutdown. Electrician verified and replaced the alternator diode with a new one. When Ignition switch was turned to Acc/ ignition position, the battery and other lights came out brightly but when cranked to start engine wouldn't start again. Sadly, it still wouldn't start.
I tried to scan for DTC codes, but my scanner wasn't communicating. I checked all fuses, power and ground at obd port, those checked ok. but my scanner isn't compatible to read CAN network. there are only 4 wires intact for the obd2 port.
Furthermore, I added fuel through the intake to the engine, no change at all. I checked for spark and injector pulse. These things weren't present. But there was power to injector with just the key at ignition or ACC and COP had 1 ground and 1 power as usual.
Electrician from that garage, who also worked on the car said that he sniffed burning smell from the ECU, however personally I didn't when I went to start the car. I don't know how certain that was. Hence, I pulled out the ECU to a laptop board engineer to test the components inside. He said: "everything looks ok and test fine, however the IC he doesn't have the right tools to proceed with the test. With the ECU removed battery connected, Engine light would come ON. with ECU connected check light still comes ON.
Before I left, I checked the MAF sensor 5 wires and noticed that 3 wires were earth instead of 2 and 1 power; no ignition current/ power was available for the remaining 2 wires.
Please, what should I do to start the car?
david essien I recommend you take it to a pro mechanic who is good at diagnostic that can diagnose it for you!
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair ok sir.
Are u in Nigeria😮
Uzoka Emmanuel good work sr No!
At the same problem, just go in the glove box and check your fuses plz listen to me
@JoseDiaz-lg4fn Checking the fuses can be helpful as well!
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair yes sometimes it’s just that ppl remove them and tweak on them and move shot around unless it’s been your car for years then most likely you have a better idea of what’s wrong with it what’s the name of that big fuse box there black and light green and square I’ll get back at you with the correct name for it it’s the main 2 big fuses on top in the glove box
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair the light green box fuse box I’m talking about I think it’s called a relay I have a question how many should be connected because I let some one use my car for 4 months and this motherfreakers tweaked on my car not cool but I was having a problem trying to turn it on until I remember little things about it and check the fuse box and see that the relay was not connected but the relay was in the backseat so after connecting in the car started but I still have a couple of other relays left a black one and a light green one as well so in total is three after the car, not turning on, I connected the relay in the car started

someone was trying to destroy this car seriously, wire pinched up noooooooo good
Lol!! Yeah
Why would you assume all the coils produce spark? Just because one coil sparks does not mean you can assume others are. Say there is one bad ground controlling three coils, then you only have three coils producing spark…
mike sabin if you have 3 coils that are firing the engine will start or try to start!
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair thats not really the point i was making.. i made that scenario up to exhibit that you cannot assume that all other coils fire just because one did. THATS THE POINT!
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair lets try this made up scenario instead…
You have a power wire coming in and it only reaches the one coil you tested.. the power wire has a broken splice and does not feed any other coil… boom… spark on the one coil you tested
