Hard to Start E90 BMW? Cranking for long? Potential Fix (Fuel Pump Control Module Replacement)

Рет қаралды 158,779

7 жыл бұрын

In this video I show you how to upgrade from a second generation EKPM2 fuel pump control module to an EKPM3 third generation module. This is a potential cause for extra long cranks during startup.
I do this on my 2008 BMW 335i but this would apply to any E90 and also other BMW models. You'll find your LPFP or low pressure fuel pump does not prime as expected when unlocking your car or opening your door.
The EKPM3 modules shipped from the factory on LCI (2009+) cars and a number of issues are addressed in this revision. I get inside and compare the two in this video.
I also show you how to remove your non folding rear seats.

Great videos. I've watched quite a few and am subbed. I noticed you used a phrase and commented on the idea (as I think most of us do with cars) "Can I keep it on the road long enough and make it worth it?" This is something we usually start out thinking and trying to figure out but then when we get bored of the old car we give in and just buy that new "Other" car we've been wanting. But the facts are with these cars is it's always worth it to keep the 335i 340i, 135i, 240i, 235i, etc series cars as they are way cheaper to fix and run as well as give us all the big power we crave at a fraction of the cost of monthly payments or even an all out purchase of a new car. At say $1000.00 a moth or more for a new one it's way cheaper to keep the old one and they are so amazing at not rusting. Even in some of the salty areas of the world. We buy new ones for the fun of it and the excitement of the "New Car". LOL.

Thanks! today we replaced the regulator and the pump, and the pressure in our fuel rail stays up even after we shut off the engine. Will have to wait until autumn/winter to see if this fixed the long cranks - ours was only long-cranking during colder weather and has not done it since the start of June. But we did bring the residual pressure back into spec.

Very informative. You gave me a new direction to look for my long crank issue. My long cranks aren't intermittent, they are contestant. It takes like 20 to 40 seconds of straight cranking after a few hrs of sitting. lol My car is an e83 X3 with an n52, it never made the prime sound before the long crank issue. Not sure why, maybe because my car has more of a traditional fuel system. I didn't know there was a fuel pump control module. I was about to fire the parts cannon and replace the fuel pump and injectors. Thanks for uploading!

It might not have been the root cause of my issue but it for sure wasn't helping. Another culprit to check is your valve eccentrick shaft sensor plug. Some people get oil in there and it makes for a poor connection.

Even if you replace this module, you will end up in the same problem. I took my 750 to the dealer and they asked $1600 for the repairs (replace the EKPM3 module and the fuel pump) I replaced the fuel pump myself with the OEM part and still have the same problem. I found out that this module (EKPM3) is overheating and about to melt and burn the car. I installed a computer cooling fan on it and I have no problem since then. please don't spend your money on replacing the fuel pump or the module, a $4 fan will solve the problem. you can connect it to the output to the fuel pump so it will work only when the fuel pump is working. I encourage every one add this fan to prevent this module to cause fire. even if you don't have a problem. it is a dangers failure design. I will post some pictures to show you all how that work for me.

You just need to encode the module with the vin.

@mxracingunlimitedltd7784 7 жыл бұрын

Anthony Hamilton or at least ALITTLE GAS in the tank lol. There are 2 separate "saddle style fuel tanks" in these car's. Meaning it probably needs a decent amount of fuel in the car for the transfer pump and the main - low side Fuel Pump... Could be causing heat - related issues that could of lead up to to this issue...

Yes. I’m getting a no communication with the engine computer code and I’m suspecting a bad engine ecu. The car cranks but does not start

Victor did you end up finding out your issue? With the ECU no communicating? That is if you still have the car.

@sabriw270 4 жыл бұрын

I was having problems with mine also. I sent mine off to this company (G7 computer's) that fixes your DME for $275. It's a lifetime warranty. Also you don't have to get it reprogrammed because it came out your car. The dealership will try to tell you that you need it reprogrammed but you don't. That alone is saving you $648 to reprogram.

Do I have to code this when I replace it? I just ordered one for my 2011 F10 due to getting drivetrain malfunction light, and dealer said this could be the issue. Im doing it myself since its fairly simple, I just hope it doesn't need to be programmed.

@VehicularDIY 7 жыл бұрын

I didn't have to flash or code the module but I had to "Encode" it with the vehicle order and the vin. I know on the Fxx models it's more straight forward so you may not need to do anything then plug it in. I'd check the forums.

@phillipsbrad12 7 жыл бұрын

So what would happen if it wasn't encoded with the order and VIN? My module is currently drawing too much power to the fuel pump and overheating it. If I just slap in the new module do you think the same issue would reoccur?

@user-br3vc6xy1k 4 жыл бұрын

This is a problem for the fuel pump and its components. Why change what originally worked properly? No need to misinform readers!
