SOURCE: BMW 323i (2000) yellow dashboard light comes on.
Two issues:
Yellow dashboard light: If the light is shaped like a triangle with an apostrophe, then there is likely an issue with your Automatic Stability Control or Automatic Braking System.
This can also be caused by a wheel speed sensor. It is highly recommended that you take the vehicle to your dealer as this is a safety related issue.
Regarding the "skunky smell" (sulfur dioxide, rotten eggs):
If not related to the in-dash lights, then I suspect the engine is running too rich. Check the oxygen sensor signal to the ECU to determine if it is switching normally. The engine has to run a while to get the catalytic converter hot enough to function properly. If the O2 sensors on either side of the converter is getting a bad signal, then the engine will burn too rich and eventually clog the converter.
Just about any autoparts store can read the problem code for free so just drop by one and let them give you the code, then let us know what you find.
Please let me know if this helps.

SOURCE: I have the check engine code 1624 on my 2000 BMW
P1624- Pedal Position Sensor Potentiometer Supply Channel 1 Electrical.
The Siemens MSE43.0 Engine mamagement module is used on more than one model. The different meanings of the P1624 are based on your model.
The P1624 referenced here is for the MS43.0 engine management module with a note for M52 engines (323 / 328) that it is a coolant temperature below thermostat regulating temperature. You should have a M52 engine.
The MS42.0 engine mangement does not list a P1624 code in the Bentley manual.
The fault above cold be set due to the following:· Break/open in the wiring from the DME to the throttle motor(MDK).· The actuator or potentiometers inside the MDK could be contaminated.SOLUTION:
(If any of the faults listed are set) · Using a breakout box check for an open or short to ground in the wiring from the DME to the MDK.· If the wiring is intact then replace the MDK, then the adaptation values in the DME must be
cleared. Failure to do this will result in reoccurring faults.· Switch the ignition off for 30 seconds.· Turn on the ignition and delete the DME adaptations and the fault code
memory · Press the accelerator pedal to wide open throttle(WOT)4 times
MDK- motor driven throttle valve.
