745 LI wont start right away

I have a '05 745 LI, it takes an avg. of 3 times pushing start to start car. It spins over as long as foot on brake, release brake and repeat 3 times on the third time it usually starts and runs great. Also, if I turn it off and start it right back within a couple minutes it starts sits have to do same routine.

SOURCE: 2000 323i stalling when i slow down

Here is what you need to do, a cleaning of the intake throttle blade and the idle speed control air-bypass valve, they get full of gunk over the miles and cause idle issues (stalls) like yours,
Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the engine at idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake

Change the DME and make the dealer do it before your warranty is up. They will try to re-program it but you should not submit demand a new one out of the box from BMW

SOURCE: take at least seven time before my car start?

if its cranking over its not the battery or starter. Its going to be a fuel pump issue or ignition issue. You wil need some test equipment. Best bet is to take it in if you dont have the equipment before you end up stranded and have to get towed in.

hello doc....

The emergency brake is mechanical not electrical. There is no fuse for the emergency brake. It is most likely that the brake cable leading to the rear brakes is stuck. This is quite common in vehicles with automatic transmissions because the e-brake (parking brake) is not used very often. As a result the cables get rusty and stick. It is also possible that the cable needs to be adjusted; but it is more likely that it will need to be replaced due to 7 years of exposure to road dirt, water, salt, etc. etc. etc.


You may be able to release it by putting the car in drive and then into reverse to put a little pressure on the cable. If it does release for you, still have it checked as it will lock up again. Joe


Thanks for choosing Fixya!

745il hood wont open

That... is a very very difficult job. It SHOULD be, since that helps prevent car thieves from stealing your battery or your car.

You may be able to get to it by removing the grille. If not, you'll need to get past the radiator from underneath.

First, though, try pushing down on the hood while someone pulls the hood release.

Where is the fuse for the tilt wheel on a 03 745 li it wont go up and down

That would be in the owners manual, we do not have that because BWM doesn't allow free downloads of their manuals. Try eBay for used one or buy from the dealer.

My washing machine says control locked

Hello there
Try putting the machine into diagnostic mode. If it won't enter diagnostic mode, then you need to replace the main control board.

DIAGNOSTIC TEST

The washer must be empty and the control must be in the OFF

state before pressing the touch-pad sequence to start the test.

Starting the Test Mode

? Close the door.

? Push CONTROL/ON (if present on this model).

? Select the DRAIN/SPIN cycle.

? Select NO SPIN by pressing the SPIN SPEED touch-pad.

? Push PREWASH OPTION four times within five seconds. (If

PREWASH OPTION is not present on this model, press EXTRA

RINSE four times within five seconds.) C:00 will light up on the

display.

If the Starting procedure fails, push the PAUSE/CANCEL touch-pad,

then repeat the starting procedure.

Test Program Control

In order to advance to the next step of the test procedure, push

PREWASH OPTION touch-pad two times. If PREWASH OPTION is not

present on this model, press EXTRA RINSE two times.

On the 2004 ford f-150 talking about the handbrake not parking brake right? if i do, do i take it all the way in like a normal one with a c-clamp?

lets say the parking brake and handbrake are same operated by a mechanical lever or foot lever, ok. if the piston is threaded it has to be spun or threaded back in at the same time pressure is applied pushing it in, you may get away with doing it by hand with a pair of needle nose pliers spinning in and pushing at the same time, also you have have some success using a c clamp while sinning the piston in. keep in mind make sure the caliper has an integral handbrake/ park brake, cable is attached to caliper. hope this helps

96 saturn wont start

Hey There,I would check the battery terminal connections real good.If they check out I have seen some inside fuse box issues where a terminal gets hot & burns at the front 68way connector.The wiring con be accessed by removing the left side console trim panel next to drivers right foot area.You can wiggle the wiring the next time it doesn't start & see if it takes off.If so you should back that connector out (7mm) screw in center & inspect male terminals with flashlight.If you see a terminal that looks like the plastice is malted around it you fould it.It will be in the first row.Used fuse box if so.Hope this helps
