    Hey fellas. I Just replaced the PCV Crankcase valve and hoses... what a pain. Now I'm throwing a P0340 - Camshaft Position Sensor. I'm thinking that during my re-assembly from fixing the PVC I may not have reconnected the sensor (I'm not entirely sure I disconnected it, but I did disconnect a...

    Hi I have a 2000 318i with the M43 engine, It is running really bad - on a cold start it will chug for a while and stall if I take my foot off the throttle, will not rev correctly (chugs at around 2k sometimes), and I have to use the throttle gently or it will bog down. And there is a real lack...

    I have a 2000 323CI. It has 130K on it. Recently, the Service Engine Light came on. At first there were no symptoms, but then I noticed that when I would come to a stop, sometimes the RPM's would bounce around and sometimes stall. It also felt like I was driving in safe mode. I found a local...

Today on the way to pick up a new expansion tank, the code came back, so while I was at BMW, I picked up a new EXHAUST SIDE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR aka Pulse Generator (Part #12 14 7 518 628). The part runs $124...
