2006 BMW 325i - Page 6 Questions & Answers
I have a bmw e30 325i it cranks but will not start so what can I do to fix it?
Fuel Pump - can you here the pump (usually under the right hand back seat) running with ignition on?
Fuel Delivery (injectors) - squirt some fuel (just a cap full) into the manifold.
Spark - pull a lead off a spark plug and use a spare spark plug resting on the exhaust manifold.
Crank sensor - Injectors won't inject fuel if the ECU thinks the engine isn't turning. Crank sensor is at the front right lower side and as it gets older, the wire gets brittle and breaks most of the time where it meets the hard end. The connector is under the throttle body and should read 500-600 ohms.
Why alarm keeps going off
if its an early model, i think 2001 and below there is a sensor under the hood that is part of the security system. this sensor is more like a button that is "pressed/activated" when the hood is down and alarm set. getting to the point, these "buttons" get stuck and need to be lubed up. easy and simple. if you are standing in front of the vehicle, hood open I THINK its closer to the driverside maybe 1ft or so from the glass. should be a simple fix. or possibly the batteries in the key fob are going bad but i had the EXACT SAME issue, along with many others on my 98 528i. hope this helps, Tim
