@@andrewmassino5536 change the vanos solenoid probably gonna improve your gas mileage

Did you ever figure out the issues with your e46 I'm having the same problems

Jose Montalvo check your o2 sensers

Did you ever find the solution for your issues ???

alot of BMW forums actually say to use the bosch coils, the bremis where used oem in the e36's ad caused a lot of problems

ICV stuck? Any other codes?

air intake hose i believe

Did you find the solution for your problems

It could be Vanos seals.

No it is the intake manifold gasket

I had this happen on my e39 and ended up being a spark plug with a crack in the ceramic part. Replaced all the spark plug and the problem went away.

same ever figure it out?

Because you deleted the ccv.....

Yikes, rusting! Do you live in an area where it snows?

***** yeah the roads are salted pretty much every time I drive in the winter for like 4-5 months a year. Every time I see bmw's with a lot of miles beeing repaired on youtube. And there is no rust on any of the parts under. I'm like wtf my car looks nothing like that. And everything in the suspention is so much harder to work on since every bolt is rusted. Had quite a few bad ones were they have snapped in a bad spot etc.

I'm from norway btw. Only way to avoid cars rusting is to wash them pretty much every day or every other day. Minimum once per week when the roads are salted. I've seen cars that are 4 years old and are completly destroyed by rust. New cars come with very little rust protection from factory aswell. Like there is plastic in the fenders but thats pretty much it. One option is to spray on a layer under. Not sure exatly what they are using but it looks kinda like black rubber.

+Kristian Hagene I would do a catch can or single hose conversion in place of the ccv, then if its still leaking replace the gasket for the oil filter.

Nathan's DIY Garage I replaced the CCV and the hoses for it a year ago. I think that works now. I also got a new gasket for it I just haven't replaced it. But yeah deleting the whole CCV might have been a better idea.

I would do the spark plugs and check the coil packs, it could possibly be vanos seals if the cold start is bad

Nathan's DIY Garage thanks just replaced the boot before half an hour and idle return to normal really strange any way thanks for your advice really appreciate for coil pack it gives me a code on the scanner also it's shaking like a hell you can't drive but this if I raise rpm to 700 it's come to normal any way will give it some time and see thanks again

also check for oil in the spark plug tubes

Nathan's DIY Garage for that I've fixed valve cover gasket leak on passenger side with some rtv before 2 days and those coil packs boots where bone dry

+Trino Munoz there are just 4 bolts trino, get you a mirror and look at it and you will see them

Did u find The problem?

@@jerkanboii no i have not...

@@kevinmcgee1754 Take out your coils, look IF They have much oil on them. Same with The sparkplugs. If you have instagram dm me there. My ig is jerkanboii

Could be Small vacuum lines or one of the caps on the rear of intake is leaking missing , ccv or ccv lines leaking, disa leaking, intake boot torn, secondary air valve vacuum line broken or leaking

Prob need to clean the ICV and check the intake boot, also need to check the ccv for leaks

Sounds like ccv

+Vlad ZSX Well this is not exactly the first BMW i have worked on, the bremi are very serviceable and cleanable, i have only ever had to replace 2 BREMI packs in my lifetime, and that was from rain water in the spark plug tubes, i have a whole box of bosch that do not work, i could see your argument if this was one car but at this point the amount of BMW's i have worked on are in the hundreds...

It means the valve cover gasket is leaking

Alright a update on my problem so change cam sensor crank sensor fuel pump fuel filter even got a different chip and no response change the injectors no response as in car starting so I take every old part and put it back on the car it starts only thing I didn't put back on the card was a fuel pump because obviously it was bad now the car starts but when I'm in 2000 3000 K it starts up like a weird knocking noise not from the engine but like sound like a machine gun like the spark plugs are striking too fast Maybe so the car started and I'm having a little bit of hesitation taking off as well as at low range I'm thinking maf sensor but I get a good reading on it also going to clean it soon so maybe a vacuum line or the valve cover gasket still leaking after I replaced it also Cylinder 6 and 3 have oil coming out of it /down pipes exhaust manifolds but I also noticed that the studs are missing but I can't figure out if it was coming from there but I did notice that it is over filled in oil I don't know how that happened House of the radiator gets extremely hot so much pressure I I now I got a leak in my house that connects to the thermostat housing but yet the thermostat is opening because I have hot air blowing out before I put new coolant in its blowing out cold air I feel it up bleed the system and now I have hot air but I did notice the fan is wobbling a little bit is still stiff to turn I mean if I push it will go a little bit but I mean it does turn so in the end why would the fan be wobbling and you have any idea what this could be I have read this whole car part inside and out and everything seems fine wiring sensors and I have a idle problem I'm thinking leak from the valve gasket or maf like I said before 

And the only reason why I had to refill the coolant was change crank sensor

Does t still have the cam sensor error code?

did you check the intake boot for rips? The coil grounds wont make a difference

Hello I am a little south of St. Louis, I do some side jobs depends on what it is

Nathan's DIY Garage I’m having the same issue and a few more things I would like you to fix on mine

John Bahadur are you close to me?

Nathan's DIY Garage I’m in NYC but I can find a way to get to you

jordan F most of the time valve cover gasket needs to be replaced.

0 compression is a bad sign my friend could be a cracked block in that cylinder
