car stalled

web99992002 · 04-16-2015, 02:35 AM

hi my 328i stalled today at a stop light. it turned on immediately. no error codes. any ideas on what happened? car is around 36,000 miles.

I guess your car is automatic?

jt335i · 04-16-2015, 08:59 AM

Clogged fuel filter?

web99992002 · 04-16-2015, 09:04 AM

yes. car is automatic.

2M · 04-16-2015, 09:05 AM

Might be air mass sensor

web99992002 · 04-16-2015, 01:37 PM

web99992002 · 04-17-2015, 01:47 AM

VTECaddict · 04-17-2015, 01:52 AM

Did you scan the DME for shadow codes?

Meeni · 04-17-2015, 01:59 AM

Have code checked, it can be a lot of different things. Most common issue for stalling w/o code and restart w/o issue after is Vanos solenoid. There are errors stored in the internal computer that do not show in the dash, have them checked, they will help a lot.

web99992002 · 04-17-2015, 02:04 AM

error 2A87 Vanos

VTECaddict · 04-17-2015, 02:16 AM

Try cleaning the VANOS solenoids.

web99992002 · 04-17-2015, 02:43 AM

can i use compressed air for cleaning?

VTECaddict · 04-17-2015, 03:07 AM

People have said to use compressed air, MAF sensor cleaner, electronics cleaner. I think I used brake cleaner on mine but I don't remember.

Meeni · 04-17-2015, 06:11 AM

Also swap the intake and exhaust solenoids after cleaning.

I dipped the tip in gasoline to clean mine.

simster007 · 04-17-2015, 08:36 AM

Check your vin on the BMW recall site. I know there is a battery positive cable recall that can cause electrical issues and stalling out. Probably not but worth to check it out.

web99992002 · 04-21-2015, 02:23 AM

already cleaned solenoid but stalled again. a new error came up 29E0 and 29E1

web99992002 · 04-21-2015, 02:35 AM

my rpm at idle. dont know if too low or just right

pctechdr · 04-21-2015, 02:46 AM
