Engine + Driveline / Stalling at startup(video)
« on: March 22, 2012, 07:31:45 AM »
My car has always done this.
I have an e36 and some days is worse than others. It wont stall if im giving it gas, but when i stop revving it will stall(in video).
Its fine once i start driving and revving it up, but will sometimes randomly stall at a light
It was pretty bad today, so i decided to make a video and ask you guys
I already replaced MAF and boot
Going to try fuel injector cleaner
seafoam?
o2 or crank sensor?
what do you guys think?

Engine + Driveline / replaced the tensioner, still as loud

mine makes a fast clicking/ticking noise as well. wandering what could be causing that.
belts are new and from what i remember the pulleys were running smoothly(i checked around summer time when i pulled off timing covers)
could it be lifter ticks?

yup. i did get it running
lol it was all because the tiny vacuum hose in front was disconnected haha.
at least i didnt spend any money
and thanks man, never even thought that it could be the temp. sensors. the bouncing is just so annoying at start-up. but idle is perfect afterwards.
the car will sometimes even stall while bouncing. but starts right back up(easily if giving it gas)
sucks because i spent $50 on a MAF and i thought it would fix the problem. Always thought the ICV was good because idle is fine after startup, but i will test it. Im just glad its pretty easy to get to on this car lol

Thanks a lot Dave. Do you know what can cause a rough startup. It always bounces for like 10 to 20secs, even stalls sometimes. Bad Icv or vacuum leak? I tried cleaning Icv and replaced MAF but no luck so far

i tested the crank sensor voltage and it was really low so went and ordered the crankshaft sensor. If it doesnt fix the problem what else could it be? im hoping i could return it if it doesnt fix the problem tho
amd thanks for the tip ill remember that
ok so the pins are on the end of the sensor wire, that plugs in, under the intake.
i tested the voltage of the actual metal sensor plug

okay ill go buy one when i get off from work before i put the money down on a crank sensor.
Ill check the readings on pin 1 & 2 like you said. Are you talking bout the pins in the circular unit on the left of the engine? where i reset the oil lights

one morning i wake up and the car just keeps cranking but not turning over?
Its really got me puzzled cuz it was driving the night before lol
I just did the stomp test and its 1444 which means theres no fault codes.
anybody have any idea what coulda happened to my car overnight?
spark plugs or fuel injectors?
And also, the brake pedal will barely press in. no idea why
any help is appreciated
