SOURCE: car will not start when

hi there, when air flow unplugged, ecu goes into limp home mode ,a back up if something dies whilst driving. it sounds as if your used mass air flow sensor is faulty , they are more fragile than they look, one knock and these early fine wire models are gone. i replaced many when i worked at a volvo dealership a few years ago. hope this helps, and good luck.

There a lot of cuses for this but you need to scan the vehicule before to know what sensor is having troubles, if is too much expensive the scan in your city consider to buy one. I see in ebay a lot of types of OBD2 scanners for $25-30!

SOURCE: engine turns over fine , car will not start.

well the first part of your question i was all ready to tell you to put a new fuel pump in, now not so sure, there is a relay for fuel pump, can you hear pump cycle and relay click? relay under hood you will have to listen close they don't run long maybe a couple secounds, if you don't relay bad. if you do pump could be bad, do fuel pressure test pump could be weak. don't think sunroof and turn signals are related, but stranger things have happend.

SOURCE: Car starts, runs a few seconds then stops.

did you spray the maf sensor or intake hole ?if you didnt spray maf then probly not! have some one turn the key why you listen in the fill gas hole for pump noise ? sould here somthing for 2 seconds at least besure you ear is there before key is turned , also check you ecu fuse to see if it may be blown .? also you could try unhooking battery cable for 20 minutes neg side only then rehook it and try to start it! good luck

SOURCE: 1996 Dodge Stratus stalls when starting

I had this problem with my 99 Durango and went to AutoBeef.com to discover this was a major problem with 98 & 99 Durangos. The fix was easy -- PCM "brain" was exchanged with a refurbished PCM "brain" from an online PCM company in Florida. You can google as I can't remember name of company. I called them and they said - Yep this is the fix -- the guys told me 3 screws all I had gone to several mechanics and dealers -- none could figure it out. I was so grateful that someone gave me the clue I needed.

Hi can I fix the engine failsafe prog issue on a 2004 bmw x5?

Read the OBDII code (or have the codes read). There are multiple possible causes. The code will give a clear indication of the cause.

If you're finding it difficult to service/repair your car, get one of those online manuals.
You'll not have to wait for others to answer, or rely on mechanics and all.
Plus i know a website that has very good manuals online, without expiry i.e. for lifetime.

BMW X5 2004 TRANS FAILSAFE PROG

Hi; If I get the 'Trans Failsafe Prog" message twice within about 2 hours, The SES light will go on automatically. Since I do not seem to have any real transmission problems, this SES message clears itself in about 24 hours. The "Trans Failsafe Prog" messageseems to be used to indicate other transmission problems as well, like loss of transmission fluid, so be careful. I have a 2002 X5. Cheers. Omer
