Diagnoses : 2002 745i bmw ( hot-film air-mass flow senser )

Also: variable valve gear-power limitation in limp-home operating code.
misfire detection, cylinder 4.
variable valve gear-monitoring, CAN internal fault, control unit, bank1.

( I have the engine fault signe keeps showing on...!, also when stepping on gas paddle the car will take a up to 5 sec. to start speeding up...???).
This car in Iraq and I am an American citizin working in Iraq, no bmw reliable agent in Iraq ( all bmw service men here are fake and dump, I have already spent more than 3000 dollars here and not fixed this car.)
Please, advise.
Thanks.

Hot-film air mass sensor when diagnose say is damaged, replace it!!! Trouble when car will take up to 5.sec. is associated with this! Bank 1, the accumulated value of lambdasond the left side of the engine cylinders. While the problem is in the ignition at the 4th cylinder, Bank-1 data were then evaluated as poor. Allow change fourth ignition coil and the CAN mistake Dont look it! is an accidental fault! eventually allow for BMW servicing erase all the mistakes and make a new adaptation of the engine throttle body, and adaptation of the engine in to "0" setting

    I do not know why Mr. Lloyd.c gives advice to
    another type of car. His advice to the E38 model, but here the E65
    model and solve it with the previous generation has absolutely no
    identical wire electrics!
    And Mr. stanley141 advice is useful for removal when the engine is a lot of exhaust smoke!

What are the probable causes of DTCs P0303 and P0306?

The car is in limp mode.
P0303 Cylinder 3 Misfire Detected
P0306 Cylinder 6 Misfire Detected
You need to clear fault codes with a scanner and see if the same fault occurs, if so, check the injectors for those cylinders. Swop cyl 3 injector with cyl 4 injector, if you get a code P0304, the injector is not working, and needs to be checked for a bad connection or maybe the injector is faulty, do the same with cyl 6, swop with cyl 5
Please keep me posted

I have 99 bmw 323i.i ran it hot and got prob fixed and now the eml and a triangle with circle around it comes on dash and car has no power.feels like it has a rev limiter.wats wrong with my car

have throttle body checked also the MDK throttle motor,
make sure that the dealer has followed service bulletin 12 07 99 for procedure to replace the MDK throttle motor
also have them check for codes,here are some codes,
it could be an expensive job,have them check everything,it is most likely the throttle motor,,throttle body is 600 if they switch it,dont let them do it without checking throttle motor,

Ok, i have a 2000 sierra 5.3 slt got the p0101 code it wouldnt star up unles i give it some gas and it shots off so, rough idle and wont stay on, i change the MAF sensor (new delphi) but still doing the...

The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor is located in the stream of intake air and measures this intake flow rate by measuring a part of the entire intake flow. It is what they call a hot film and is supplied with electric current from the Engine Control Module (ECM).
The temperature of the hot film is controlled by the ECM to a certain extent. The heat generated by the hot film is reduced as the intake air flows around it. The more air, the greater the heat loss. Therefore, the ECM must supply more electric current to maintain the temperature of the hot film as air flow increases. The ECM detects the air flow by means of this current change.
The OBDII people suggest that before you replace the mass air flow sensor, try replacing the air filter and cleaning the air flow sensor with compressed air or by using a cleaner on the mass air flow sensor. Truly, all that may be wrong is a build-up of dirt.Unfortunately, in your case, replacing the Mass Air Flow did not work.After replacement, did you reset the code and drive the vehicle?.
I suggest you replace the air filter and check for intake air leaks.YouTube has some good videos on how to do this, one by Eric the car guy and one by Scottie Kilmer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CPqbaSgcokhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMok2y05jNE

P0121

Hi there:This code can also be related to the MAF or mass air flow sensor. Lets test it before we try anything new.
Testing and Inspection:
8_16_2012_9_45_44_pm.gif



MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR (MAF SENSOR)
This hot film type air flow sensor is composed of a hot film sensor, housing, and a metering duct (hybrid, sensor element). The mass airflow rate is measured by detection of heat transfer from a hot film probe. A change in the mass air flow rate will cause a change in the amount of heat being transferred from the hot film probe surface to the air flow. This results in a change in temperature of the hot film probe and a change of resistance.

My 2001 525td starts and drives ok but intermittently it wont go above 3000 rpm,if you stop and switch it off it goes ok again for a short while

HI, your car is most likely going into limp mode. The number one cause of this computer shut down restriction- is a Mass-Air Flow sensor malfunction. Fuel trims become erratic and the engine computer puts a order in to limit performance until the original problem is resolved. The fact that you can get performance back after shutting down car and restarting is that the computer is rebooting and most likely the sensor is now functioning properly and or has not set the number of faults required for limp mode. What I would do is have someone with a scanner look for DTC's or engine problem codes, and remember the following: Lean or Rich fuel trims detected bank 1 bank 2 (is a Mass Air flow problem)Replace Mass Air flow sensor assembly. Accelerator position high or low and or erratic is most likely (Pedal sensor) Replace Pedal assembly. Good Luck.

Will not shift out of low gear. Only goes about 20-30 mph.

If this started suddenly with no other symptoms, then probably your car's computer has detected something wrong and put the car into limp mode, which means you can't go fast but you can limp home. The computer gathers data from sensors which measure everything from oxygen levels to transmission data. If it gets a bad reading from any one of them, it tries to limit damage by limiting your speed. The problem could be a bad sensor, or it could be something more serious. Take it to a mechanic who can read the error codes and go from there.
