Fuel pump.

Always starts off like that.

I'd give it 3-4 wks top if even that.

If you you get a CEL and you scan it,expect to find a code that says ''fuel pump plausibility.''

If your car doesnt turn on anytime soon,expect it to be the HPFP..

or if you get a CEL and the code comes back with a 'fuel pump plausibility'.

I know what I'm doing tonight!!

[ac1208]

my guess is its a pure coincidence.
i've had my hpfp replaced 3 times within the past year and a half of owning
it is usually a half day to a day to fix at the dealership
but definitely rectify the issue before taking it on a roadtrip...i had mine completely die coming back from a snowboarding trip (but it was the dealership's fault for not fixing it when i clearly told them it was a hpfp problem)

last week i had a long crank again...but hasn't happened again since then

Well thats good news! I will make sure to double check the codes tonight on my BT and if there is still nothing then I will make certain BMW tests it
Thanks!!

Whole bunch of us in Toronto are experiencing fuel issues the last couple of weeks. Must be something in the gas...seriously...this is odd. Our BBM group album has a whole bunch of CEL pics lol.

[stephanie335]

I just spoke to my friend who told me to try resetting the adaption values with the BT software/scan tool since the intercooler is SO much bigger than the peepee OEM one...

Has anyone ever tried doing this?
Is it a bad idea to reset these less than 24 hours before a Dealership visit? I am afraid to reset things to values that don't look realistic...

[Syndicategt]

Hey just reporting back. Took my car in for a HPFP and all the did was update my software and my long cranks are magically gone.

yup - my hpfp was recently replaced as well

[Lotus99]

Steph, if you get the pump replaced, make sure it's the new part, not the old one: NEW HPFP Part 13517594943 Replaces 13517592881

Hmmm??

idk about urs. But this was what happened for me for the fuel pump, first I start the car it runs normal. after a bit the temp went up to 250. the car begin shaking badly, begin to feel lost power, throttle no respond Rpm dropped to 1000 and slowing turn to 0. and engine start chocking like the lung of a 80 year old smoker. The steering is really heavy.pull over and restart the car again begin normal for a sec. but after 10 sec.start chocking and completely lost power. SEL everything light up. the car dash was like a light house. .. the sign for earlier pump failing was long crank. then begin to get longer each time you start ur car. Hopefully this is not ur problem because i already lost faith in my car. I have had 2 335i. enough pumps. Already traded for m3. getting ED in May 5th. GL with ur car. I think ur problem was pump related. Normally dealer now will remove ur pump and replace all the injectors and reprogram it. but you have to have a symptom that you can show them. no symptom no replace. This is what happen here. I am not sure what was the policy for Canada.Also DME outdate will cause pump to fail faster. The newer DME will only makes ur fuel pump last longer by regulate the fuel flow. This was from BMW tech memo. And it also no guarantee how long will last recommend replace all 6 injectors as well. This is the PM lastest pump i replaced.

Brought it in on a Thursday morning, by Friday afternoon they thought it was a HPFP or Injector... (my guess is they didn't even look at it yet).

Mid day Monday they called saying it was ready and they had replaced the solenoid.

I agree sounds like HPFP and a coincidence. Good luck!

If I posted this thread, it would never reach 3 pages.

But, nonetheless, I got my HPFP replaced and car back today. Long cranks will turn into a random limp mode and SES. Beware and bring tools just in case you have to remove the JB3.

Plausibility is not as big of a deal as Fuel pressure at injection release code. The latter is what will get your pump released more times then not.

LOL!!!! True! Or people would be screaming to do a search, but it is a female posting so there is leghumping.

I'm starting to get nervous-I haven't had any issues with my HPFP since I got the car brand new. I almost want it to happen so I get a new one. With my luck it would go either in a bad location or after the extended warranty expires.

Hey, by the way, do you/did you own an E46 328Ci? I think you were at a Curry's Dyno Day years ago-I was there with Sunir, Andy, Pete and some other DTM guys.

[huyner328]

Hah yea wassup Jed, I definitely remember your Hellrot E36. Ahhhh the glory days of DTM Power. I thought I was problem free but I'm also glad it happened. (@34,xxx)
