Hi. My e46 330d showed dde and immediately cut off. Now it just cranks and wont start. I can hear the pump priming, ive checked fuses they are all ok. If i leave the car for a few days, it will start. But driving, after a few minutes it will show dde then cut off and wont start again. Any ideas?
Thank you for the video.. I have a quick question please.My bmw 120d e87 cranks but no start, all lights display on the dash but except the engine light.. fuel flows but the injectors do not accept the fuel.what could be the problem?.

I have a 2004 BMW 325i....I've replaced the spark plugs ignition coils MAF sensor fuel pump....fuel pump relay.....fuel pump fuse....gas cap.....bleeder valve...air filter and sender unit for fuel pump. All this in the past 7 months. However, yesterday the car has a crank no start condition. Also, I stopped hearing the fuel pump when I put keys in the ignition. Is it possible the fuel pump already went bad or is faulty??
I had crank no start replaced fuel pump. Worked fine next morning no start again. Had done plugs 3 months ago and kept bypassing that as an issue. Took 3 days of headache pulled plugs and all were bad. Check plugs. After I changed the plugs with ngk iridium’s it cranked right up.
same problem. My n42 bmw shut down during ride and did not start anymore? Replaced fuel pump, crank sensor, both camshaft sensors and spark plugs. Error codes gives misfires etc. U think it might be ign switch? Bmw e46 coupe 2002?
I have 2013 535i I think I have same problem but it was stuck in neutral but I end up getting the transmission outta neutral into park but now the car won’t start only cranks

@@andrew190e were you able to correct it? My techinician is suggestions to replacement the jbu module. It is quote expensive so i’m having second thoughts about it.
@andrew190e no. I tried all the suggestions given but the problem remained. My car has been sitting in the garbage for 2 yrs now. 1 technician suggested to repair the ecu but to no avail. Yes there was a suggestion to change the jbu module. I’m still considering to try it but the expense is holding me back unless someone could assure me that indeed it is he problem.
I have a 2006 BMW X5 E53 that had intermittent no crank or start. I would just roll windows down & closed, lock the x5 with key fob then unlock with key a couple times get in close door hold foot on break and it would start. But sometimes not. Then I drove to store and it just turned over but wouldn't start. I bought the ignition part you mention from ebay and same thing. Crank but no start . 1 more thing, The ignition key stuck in start position when I 1st got in it from store when it wouldn't start, the key would stick in start position. I could manually turn the x5 off. Can't afford to pay what the BMW shop wsnts. What do you suggest???
Possible but it looks more like starter motor or starter circuit fault as in relay, fuse, control, wiring etc. Worse case seized engine. Good luck bro.
Hi thank you 🙏🏼 for this we are really really stuck 😭 we have a bmw 1 series 116l se engine 1596cc no problems no warnings at all woke up one morning and it just cranks? And won’t start 😩 he’s only just bought it in June 2021 only 50,000 miles, how can a car woke the day before and the morning not start? Apparently two cylinders aren’t working and 3rd cylinder low, fuel pump checked ok no sign of faults ignition test ok too, apparently they would have to send off cylinders and take head off which costs sooo much money now they saying write it off????? Please please please I beg you for ideas?? This car is everything for us to work? 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
Anything is possible with cars. I currently have one with 50,000 km 2018 model, lost 3 cylinder compression already. Very bad engineering. Ask the mechanic where is the compression leaking to. I would take it some place else to get second opinion if they couldn't answer that question. they you will know real fix and pricing.
BMW has a warranty on the timing chain up to 70,000 miles , they lost a class action lawsuit. Should be a free repair at BMW . Make sure who ever u took it to puts it back together the correct way . Then take it to BMW
I have a e38 which do not crank. Replaced the starter since the old one clicked. Everything lights up fine. Changed the battery, grounded the engine to the chassi, tried to jump start it and switched the relays but nothing. Only thing that makes it start is jumping the starter. Can it be the ignition switch?
Is it the same ignition switch on 320d ? I replaced vp44 with new one and everything else checked, car cranks with fuel coming to injectors but wont start :/
I've got a question for you. I have a 2001 bmw X5 4.4l. I've just replaced the fuel pump ect. But it cranks and starts and occasionally it cranks no start, takes a while and eventually it starts, I also get the trans failsafe come in and out just randomly, lately it was trans failsafe but starting fine, and all of a sudden trans failsafe has gone but it cranks and has issues starting
Not the best trouble shooting method. Just because one car has an issue doesn't mean another car that has similar symptoms has the same issue. 9 out of 10 times if a bmw has a crank no start issue it is NOT going to be the ignition switch
I have a bmw 116i 2005 I drove it for about 5 mins then stopped turned the it off then went back about 2 minutes later and it was like there was no power I tried jump start it and it sounded like it had run of gas but could smell fuel. It will crank while it has jumper leads on but just won't fire ne ideas to help would be great as I have only had it for 2 weeks

Not the issue in my 2006 BMW X5 E53 4.4i. It will more than likely be the security system (ews module) Found out it's to this day a huge problem.

This guy just said that car car went to. 2 shops for 8 months then a BMW specialist , then went to the BMW dealer and they could not figure the problem out 😂😂 😂😂😂😂 this guy must be smoking crack 😂😂😂 Bro it’s a IGN switch ! Any local fly by night mechanic can figure out a bad ign switch . Why would u tell these ppl that a BMW dealer could not fix it ? Yet only u were able to ? 😂😂😂
If you want to comment more. Explain to me how ignition switch works in this car. Why there was no communication with any of the modules. Otherwise just disappear.
@@a1mechanicaloakey639 send me the info to that BMW dealer so I can get a job as a service manager 😎 .. if they couldn’t figure out that problem I will make 300k a year and the 1st thing I would do is fire every tech in the place 😂
@@a1mechanicaloakey639 my friend , I am not dreaming now will I accept a job working for Anyone not BMW nor anyone else . I own my own repair shop And car dealerships .. i work for my self And have been an owner since the age of 25 . The fact that u are explaining how a simple old school ignition switch works to a bunch of viewers on RUclips that are obviously not professional technicians is wonderful . What made me laugh is when u said that this simple problem went to shops and a BMW expert and. BMW dealer and they could not figure out the problem ! That comment was not only a lie , but it was beyond laughable 😂 !! Don’t get me wrong ..ur doing good by helping out others who need advice . But what’s the point of u adding a funny and unbelievable story claiming that experts and a BMW dealer couldn’t fix this problem ? Yet U were able to ? And to make the story that much funnier it was a ign switch ? I can see if it was an open circuit in a harness or a CAN BUS issue or even a bad ground that no one can find . But a basic ign switch ? What kind of BMW dealer or real repair shop along with as u claim a BMW expert wouldn’t be able to figure this out ? I’m Sorry to call u out this way but I couldn’t resist 🤷🏽♀️🤦🏼
Hi, I have a problem with my Mini Cooper s r56 not start. The only code the mini have is: A0B4 The mini was on taking it out of the garage when it suddenly turned off. The first Scanner have these codes: 2781 2775 2D52 *2DCA* 275F 272F I changed 4 spark plugs, 4 coils, the Camshaft Position Sensor and a new battery. But it did not turn on, now it is giving these codes: 005E31 009314 *00A0B4* 00932D 009CB5 I deleted them and it only gives me this code: ( A0B4 ) The mini starter good but not start. I try the new battery and it says it's ok, but when I test the battery with the terminals mounted on the Mini Cooper it says it's bad I don’t now why. I also reset the new battery in the mini system with the scanner but nothing. ( A0B4 )

So many people make a video with a fix like key, ignition module, relay, fule, fuel pump etc...
@@geralddeitz9169 what company do you recommend?
Not the switch, the connector.
if that causing it, does it also cut off the fuel pump?
Very much so. Pretty sure none of the computer is awake at that point.
@@a1mechanicaloakey639 I have check but I have already replaced the fuel pump, crank sensor..check all fuses & relay all seem ok. The car sometimes shut off while driving and need to wait few minutes to start and also sometimes also all light comes up and car goes to limp mode, thought it was cause by ICV, already replace same issue, hopefully its just the ignition switch.
Good luck
@@Linoge279 did it work? I have same problems.

Diy
This guy just said that car car went to. 2 shops for 8 months then a BMW specialist , then went to the BMW dealer and they could not figure the problem out 😂😂 😂😂😂😂 this guy must be smoking crack 😂😂😂 Bro it’s a IGN switch ! Any local fly by night mechanic can figure out a bad ign switch . Why would u tell these ppl that a BMW dealer could not fix it ? Yet only u were able to ? 😂😂😂
Telling what I experienced. Like it or leave.
If you want to comment more. Explain to me how ignition switch works in this car. Why there was no communication with any of the modules. Otherwise just disappear.
@@a1mechanicaloakey639 send me the info to that BMW dealer so I can get a job as a service manager 😎 .. if they couldn’t figure out that problem I will make 300k a year and the 1st thing I would do is fire every tech in the place 😂
Keep dreaming
@@a1mechanicaloakey639 my friend , I am not dreaming now will I accept a job working for Anyone not BMW nor anyone else . I own my own repair shop And car dealerships .. i work for my self And have been an owner since the age of 25 . The fact that u are explaining how a simple old school ignition switch works to a bunch of viewers on RUclips that are obviously not professional technicians is wonderful . What made me laugh is when u said that this simple problem went to shops and a BMW expert and. BMW dealer and they could not figure out the problem ! That comment was not only a lie , but it was beyond laughable 😂 !! Don’t get me wrong ..ur doing good by helping out others who need advice . But what’s the point of u adding a funny and unbelievable story claiming that experts and a BMW dealer couldn’t fix this problem ? Yet U were able to ? And to make the story that much funnier it was a ign switch ? I can see if it was an open circuit in a harness or a CAN BUS issue or even a bad ground that no one can find . But a basic ign switch ? What kind of BMW dealer or real repair shop along with as u claim a BMW expert wouldn’t be able to figure this out ? I’m Sorry to call u out this way but I couldn’t resist 🤷🏽♀️🤦🏼
You take far too long to get to the point!
This not not for you then. Google search always the quickest way to get quick answer whether it's right or wrong.
Too much talking get to the point

Hi, I have a problem with my Mini Cooper s r56 not start.
The only code the mini have is: A0B4
The mini was on taking it out of the garage when it suddenly turned off. The first Scanner have these codes:
2781
2775
2D52
*2DCA*
275F
272F
I changed 4 spark plugs, 4 coils, the Camshaft Position Sensor and a new battery. But it did not turn on, now it is giving these codes:
005E31
009314
*00A0B4*
00932D
009CB5
I deleted them and it only gives me this code: ( A0B4 )
The mini starter good but not start.
I try the new battery and it says it's ok, but when I test the battery with the terminals mounted on the Mini Cooper it says it's bad I don’t now why. I also reset the new battery in the mini system with the scanner but nothing.
( A0B4 )
Best suggestion is to take it to a good technician. that's just not enough information there to give you any technical advice.
This is a problem, where I am there are no mechanics who work with Mini Cooper. I only need a idea.
I buy a Autel scanner and this is a code the scan register
At this stage I do not know how to help. Give me more information on what have you checked. Is it no crank or no run. I would love to help but when someone says no start, there's 500 different reasons I can think of why would a car won't start.
