I have never understood how such a thing can happen at all on a car with steel chain You are very wrong. A worn chain is very common. On some engines, replacement is needed through 100K. Put all the measured parameters here. More values are needed. |

Are you sure engine is N52??? On a F10? Give me VIN please.

If it is a n 52 engine and the only fault you get is the misfire cyl 5. you should put the valvetronic system in limp mode or fully open the valves and see if still misfires..

N52 indeed, preLCI C549399 (04-10-2017, 19:49 PM)olaf Wrote: If it is a n 52 engine and the only fault you get is the misfire cyl 5. you should put the valvetronic system in limp mode or fully open the valves and see if still misfires..How exactly do I do that, pull out motor plug? Update. It now moved to cylinder 4! This is after we opened up intake to look for anything abnormal, air leaks e.t.c. but jumbled up coils and plugs when putting it back together!!!!! I think this is a good sign. Asked the owner to thrash it for a day or so so we see if it sticks in cylinder 4 or moves about and whether it moves about in bank 2 or makes excursions into bank 1. Will update after next encounter. I think it is an ignition problem but not ruling out injection entirely either!. I want to spend an afternoon with it (office work interferes a lot) and follow through the following in quick succession, each followed by a test drive and diagnosis, 1. Swap coils around, drive, diagnose. If changes recorded, replace all coils 2. Swap plugs, drive, diagnose, If changes occur and 1 above was negative, replace plugs 3. Swap injectors, drive, diagnose, If changes occur, replace injectors, if negarive and 1 and 2 also negative... 4. Pull out oxygen sensors, drive and diagnose. If misfire stops, replace these if misfire present proceed 5. Pull out valvetronic motor plug, drive and diagnose (Is that how to put it in limp mode) If misfire still occurs sit down, take a deep breath and drink some beer as we think of the next steps....which leave us with intake, airflow meter and DME |

Faulty DME => u should reflash it again first If a car has blow head Gasket it will start loosing coolant... can u Measure the Radiator pressure to verify it... Did u do both Dry compression test & wet compression test to identify faulty Piston Ring.. The best is doing the cylinder leakage test. Please hit Reputation button if u think my info is helpful.

I believe wet test is spurting some oil into the cylinder and cranking engine to see how it compares to dry state? If dry test show significant lower compression to wet test then we can conclude a poor oil ring? (06-10-2017, 09:08 AM)semihmutcali Wrote: I know the problem. That is ecu problem. I sent pm how can you repair Thanks. Opening the DME is a whole different proposition I guess though that it may explain the strange behaviour. Thanks. Will definitely deal with DME as last resort, opening engine seems not to make any sense as problem is most likely electrical. Thought of DME too but asked myself why one cylinder |
