For those that care, I replaced the crankshaft position sensor, the one in the front of the engine, and it runs like a charm now. From what I have heard from locals, all I would have had to do is take out the sensor, which is right below the water pump in later models, and clean the grime off the sensor and it would have been good. Just food for thought for anyone in the same position. __________________ 2009 BMW 335d 1998 BMW 318ti California |
