as the cam shaft position sensor works in combination with the crank shaft position sensor to tell the ECM where the piston is for the correct firing and timing
it would be unreasonable to consider that the engine would function with a faulty unit
basically if the cam shaft sensor is not operational then the engine will not start
Many items can cause it not to start:
1. battery voltage too low,
2. fuel pump not working-blown fuse, old, clogged fuel filter,
3. cam shaft sensor fault,
4. crank shaft sensor fault,
5. starter gone, and
6. on BMW M cars, if the oil level is down 3 quarts
i would say your looking at a faulty cam shaft sensor..its located on front side of engine. this fixed the same problem i had..there are 2 sensors one being your cam shaft sensor (normal to go out) and the crank shaft sensor..these work inline with computer to determine correct timing.hope this helps
Looking for location of 98 528i camshaft sensor also. What tools are needed to change this part?
