I like Energy you showed when you started up the car

I changed my camshaft sensor on Intake side and crank sensor last year because check engine would turn on and the car wouldn't crank up after it was hot. My 335i started stalling recently at low rpms at red lights and stop signs, changed the vacuum lines and came to realize it was mainly my camshaft sensor bank 1 b exhaust code P130A. After that Idle went smooth and car hasn't stalled since or jerked while driving, felt great

I had the same problem with my 335i when I got it. My car went into limp mode and when I drove it home right after I got a cylinder misfire from cylinder 6, which turned out to be a ignition coil. I thought I could play it slick by ordering a cheap $13 sensor from ebay, no luck. You need the original Siemens vdo (now bought out by Continental) for the car to leave limp mode. The dealer apparently charges $1100 for this replacement

This looks like it might be the one job that is easier for N54 (on my N52 /328xi I had to remove intake manifold). I had the same feeling when my new sensor was in.

Glad you got your car running bro it obviously means a lot to you

Same thing happened to me when I had my E92 335i 08 model. Scary thing is that my car actually shut off on me at a stop light because of that sensor. Glad to see you got it fixed though.

What scan tool do you use? I wanna get one for my 2011 e90 328i just Incase

I got the same issue going on but it also had a really bad electric whine, when I hit the gas pedal I hear the whine more louder then the exhaust sound. Could it still be the crank shaft positioning senior or is it my transmission ??

Hey there. Curious why didn’t you remove your intake manifold before trying to get to the sensor? Would that have helped? About to attempt my sensor tonight on my 08 e90...a tad nervous

Hi, my car has the same issue. Can I get some advice please. What did you use to clear the codes an what codes did you have?

My car has been having the rough idle issue for the so long. Do you think this might help it? Yesterday was the First time I got a engine malfunction sign. This has me so worried

So glad you're car is okay bro! I'm in the market for a 335i and been using TF out of your channel for any questions I have. This issue had me a little hesitant but since it's only the CPS I feel so much better. Hopefully I'll have my 335i no later than march!

My 2004 BMW 530i has a horrible vacuum like behind the intake manifold, they capped it off. My mechanic suggested almost $500 doing the entire intake manifold no thanks, there is no leak coming from there and I am not losing coolant, pop off the microfilter housing and replace the cap then smoke the intake and see if it fixes it ha; I’m gonna smoke it first to see how effective it is. Always love your videos! Definitely gotta work on these cars, and I’m forcing myself to learn how to.
