I have a 99 BMW 528i changed intake manifold now it won't start if it does start revs high and dies

Hi, I have a bmw aswell, when this happens it is useally that there is a split or crack in the air intake rubber boots, so check those first, and any vacuum pipes that go to the intake, and I dont know how carefull you was when putting the manifold on that a gasket did not seat properly,if you have no problems with all the above check the diser valve is working ok, hope this was some help,all the best.

1997 bow z3 1.9 motor turns over will not start

If it got too hot the engine may have been damaged. You will need to have a cylinder compression test to make sure the engine is ok. Did the coolant get all over the engine? Some electrical connections may have gotten wet. Make sure it is getting fuel. Spray a little starter fluid into the throttle body.

BMW E92 M57 3.0 diesel, crank no start, But starts on Easy Start ( STARTER FLUID ) could I still have a snapped chain ?

This sounds like a fuel starvation issue. It runs for a second or two on easy start as that is what is burning as fuel. Do you have any warnig lights on the dash? Have you had the vehicle scanned for trouble codes? If you have to pay for the scan get prices at 4 or 5 different places as costs can be VERY different. Comment below with any Trouble Codes and I'll try to help you more. A broken timing chain should only affect the mechanical timing. If it runs and sounds OK when you use the easy start the chain should be set correctly.

2015 BMW X5 lift gate controller got wet and stopped working. Dried out area and controller and it now works other than an alarm sounding when you start car. How do I stop this

It is a modern BMW and crammed full of electronics, modules and sensors talking to each other over a Communication Network. For issues like this you need a local auto electrician and a pro grade scan tool computer to check for DTCs and Communication codes. The diagnostics provide the fix and the scan tool is bi-directional to allow for programming of modules. The Body Control Module is the brains behind a lift gate controller module and the alarm system module and sensors. https://www.google.com/search?q=auto+electrician+near+me ..

Is there 2 waterpumps on the 96 bmw 318ti or just one

There is a second pump but it is mostly to provide heat to the cabin heater. It is mounted under the air filter assembly. To check it try this. Turn the ignition key to the 'On' position. With your feet OFF the pedals press the start button. This turns on the pump but not the engine. Turn the heat to Max and the fan to Low. Put you head near the air filter box and listen. If you can't hear the pump try this. Using an extra long screwdriver or a long thin metal rod rest one end on the pump and the other to your ear. You should be able to hear the pump running. *NOTE* It may be louder than you think. Try this website for more information. https://www.meeknet.co.uk/E64/BMW_E63_E64_auxiliary_water_pump_replacement.htm

2012 bmw 535i got a tire put on my front passenger side and now my tire will not spin now

Tire and rim? The rim may be different and hitting on the caliper. Slowly loosen the tire until it moves, then inspect the area of contact to see why it is binding.

Lost keys dead battery how do I get in my car ?

Give the dealership the VIN number and ask them to get you two keys and fobs. Get under the engine and connect a battery charger positive to the starter motor Red power wire, and the negative of the charger to the body. Then call the locksmith - auto electrician - alarm installer back and ask him to register the key to the anti-theft system. Then with the battery charger still connected, put a new fully charge battery into the vehicle. Job done. Or sell it for parts.

After changing battery in 2006 BMW 330I...does it need to reset even if you used the same exact battery? If so, can I reset it on my own?

Hello again Sondra Simon Atkinson and I both answered your query and we both mention parasitic battery drain. None of us mentioned a 'battery reset' and as far as I am concerned, I have never heard of anything like that. A battery is an inert box of lead and acid that holds a charge that you put into it. The engine control module monitors it and BMW being who they are DO in fact have a BATTERY RESET procedure!! https://www.google.com/search?q=2006+bmw+330i+battery+reset Also, if you disconnect the battery for even a short length of time, you will need to reset the security system and immobilizer. https://www.google.com/search?q=2006+bmw+330i+reset+security+system ..

Where is the alternator fuse located on a 2006 BMW 330I?

If the alternator is charging the battery it will not be the fuse. The alternator would simply stop working if the fuse has blown. If the battery isn't holding charge you might have a power drain somewhere in the vehicle. Something in the electrics may not be turning off correctly and draining the battery. Do you have any warning lights on the dash? Have you access to an OBD2 scanner to check for any Trouble Codes? If it is a power drain the simplest fix is to get a good Auto Electrician to check the vehicle. Finding a power drain or an electrical short can be a real pain in the tail bone job because there is so much electronics on a car. Paying an expert to do it is a lot quicker and easier as they have the right tools to do it.
