Hallo all,
Is the E46 320i "moody" when it comes to cold starts?
I am asking the question because the car does the following:
1.) I Need to start the car twice or more before the engine keeps running.
2.) The car does not start with my foot off the accelerator pedal.
3.) The engine "cycles" between 500 and 800 rpm for about 60 seconds before it picks up rpm and starts to idle evenly at about 1000 rpm.
4.) With temp the needle off the cold mark, about 1/4 up, the engine does the same "cycling" thing when I put the car in gear and slowly drive the car forward or in reverse.
So, is it the same problem as with the E30, the cold start sensor(s) is/are defective, or is the MAF dirty or the DISA faulty?
