I wasn't sure where to put this thread so if it's the wrong place sorry. Anyway I have the little code book and the computer thingy that you plug in under your hood and it reads fault codes and resets service lights etc. So I was resetting my oil change light or something like that and I noticed a fault code came up, and it was cam shaft position sensor. My car runs fine so I don't know if my car can tell soon it's going to go bad or what, I just don't know what it is and if it is something MAJOR to fix. I would appreciate anything you guys might know! | | | 04-29-2005, 03:39 PM | #2 | I miss my Ti....... :( Join Date: Nov 2003 Location: Los Angeles, CA Posts: 828 | Location..

Its under the manifold. I was told its kind of a pain to get to. I didnt want to mess with it so I took it to the shop. It was a 180 buck job. My car was fine at first but the got then got worse after a week to two weeks. I noticed some hesitation and lack of power. Good luck. | | | 04-30-2005, 06:48 PM | #5 | Member Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Ohio Posts: 39 | Quote: Originally Posted by cali-ti wow, a chick who was all under the hood with the computer reset thingy and stuff! lol ... | Yep, I can even tie my own shoes too!! LOL I have a 97 TI and talk about upset...I went shopping yesterday with a friend and when we got back to her house I loaded all my purchases in my trunk and couldn't wait to get home. I got in my car and it wouldn't start!! And I thought man, I just posted that thread about the cam shaft sensor and now my car won't start! So I spent the night at her house on the damn couch and this morning my dad came over and was checking things out and it was just one of my battery connections that was not connected very well. So what a relief! I just thought for sure it was going to be that sensor. | | | 04-30-2005, 07:46 PM | #6 | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 | ok, for those who replaced the cam shaft position sensor, which one of these diagrams has it? also, anyone who has replaced it on their m44, what's the part number? http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...56&hg=11&fg=10 http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...85&hg=11&fg=10 __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles current mods: bilstein sports, bavauto springs, e30 m3 LCABs, solid metal ball joints, bavauto RSMs w/reinforcements, e30 3.73 LSD & halfshafts, supersprint cat-back exhaust, turner rear sway bar reinforcements, IE poly subframe & RTABs + camber/toe kits, powdercoated e36 32x front calipers, sport mirrors, H&R 28mmF/19mmR sway bars, x-brace, auto solutions SSK w/poly bushing upgrade, BMW CD43 head unit, DICE HD Radio w/iPod integration and "stealth" HD antenna, staggered style 68s, orange electronic TPMS, leather arm rest, JT Designs metal undertray acquired and awaiting install: heated seat kit, cali top switch relo, lumbar support kit, park distance control kit, heated washer nozzle kit, m-coupe rear subframe, trailing arms, differential, and halfshafts, m-coupe front/rear brakes with master cylinder, under hood light kit, mud flaps, rear sun blind, auto-dimming rear view mirror, tilt steering wheel retrofit, apexcone 5000K HIDs with 55W ballasts 2002 X5 4.4 Sport Package, 53.5k miles Current Mods: e46 m3 steering wheel | | | 04-30-2005, 09:47 PM | #7 | Member Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Ohio Posts: 39 | Quote: Originally Posted by Brrrknstock I have a 97 TI | I meant to type 1996 not 1997 | | | 05-01-2005, 10:39 PM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Minneapolis Posts: 1,587 | I've done it, and it's the bottom link. Although PelicanParts.com lists the camshaft position sensor as 12 14 1 247 258. But, if you search the part number that RealOEM gives (12 14 1 743 072), Pelican gives you the correct part as well. I'd give www.eap4parts.com a call. They don't have it listed on their website, but I'm sure they have it. They're usually the cheapest. If you want to know what's involved in replacing it, let me know. | | | 05-02-2005, 01:35 AM | #9 | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 | c'mon cirrus, list what's needed here for all posterity __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles current mods: bilstein sports, bavauto springs, e30 m3 LCABs, solid metal ball joints, bavauto RSMs w/reinforcements, e30 3.73 LSD & halfshafts, supersprint cat-back exhaust, turner rear sway bar reinforcements, IE poly subframe & RTABs + camber/toe kits, powdercoated e36 32x front calipers, sport mirrors, H&R 28mmF/19mmR sway bars, x-brace, auto solutions SSK w/poly bushing upgrade, BMW CD43 head unit, DICE HD Radio w/iPod integration and "stealth" HD antenna, staggered style 68s, orange electronic TPMS, leather arm rest, JT Designs metal undertray acquired and awaiting install: heated seat kit, cali top switch relo, lumbar support kit, park distance control kit, heated washer nozzle kit, m-coupe rear subframe, trailing arms, differential, and halfshafts, m-coupe front/rear brakes with master cylinder, under hood light kit, mud flaps, rear sun blind, auto-dimming rear view mirror, tilt steering wheel retrofit, apexcone 5000K HIDs with 55W ballasts 2002 X5 4.4 Sport Package, 53.5k miles Current Mods: e46 m3 steering wheel | | | 05-02-2005, 08:10 PM | #10 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Minneapolis Posts: 1,587 | EDIT: I put it up on my website: http://www.geocities.com/threeiswee/cam.html I'll try, it's been about a year though M44 engine BTW. Do at your own risk. I might have missed steps as well, but I think it's pretty complete. The job isn't really hard, but it's sort of involved. Parts: Camshaft Sensor: #12 14 1 743 072 Intake Manifold Gasket(s): #11 61 1 247 478 Along with the new sensor, you'll need a new pair of gaskets that join the upper to the lower intake manifold. (See pic #1, part #11) There are actually two of them needed and I belive the part number will give you both. I think this is the case because I was surprised that there were two gaskets in the baggy from the dealer. Later to find out I actually needed two. ------------------------------------------------------ 1. Disconnect the negative battery cable 2. Unplug electrical connector on throttle position sensor (Pic #2, Part #2) 3. Unplug electrical connector on idle air control valve (Pic #2, Part #9) 4. Use a small flathead screwdriver to remove the small vacuum hose running from the fuel pressure regulator, to the upper intake manifold. 5. Unscrew throttle cable cover (Pic #2, Part #8 6. Disconnect throttle cable. * Note, my car does not have ASC+T, or cruise control, if yours does, you might have to unhook and extra throttle cable or something 7. Unscrew main intake hose from throttle body * You might want to clean the area where the two intake halves meet, so dirt/debris doesn't fall into your intake. Compressed air would work great. 8. Unscrew nuts/bolts holding upper to lower intake manifold halves. (Pic #1) There might be an extra brackets somewhere holding the upper half. 9. Pull the upper half away, I believe there is a vacuum hose still attached to something, so just let it bend a bit and set the upper half somewhere out of the way. Actually I think it's attached to the crank case vent valve (Pic #3, Part #16) *Note, doing this caused the large vacuum hose running from the valve cover, to the crankcase vent valve (Pic #3, Part #13) to break. It was already very brittle, so I had to buy another *Look at Pic #1 and you can see how there are layers in-between the two halves. It goes: upper half, gasket, flange (Pics #1, Part #12), gasket, lower half. 10. Gently stuff some clean rags into lower intake manifold openings, to prevent debris from falling into the intake manifold. 11. You should now have access to the plug on the old camshaft sensor. Unplug it, then unsrew the old sensor from the block. 12. Coat the o-ring on the new senor with some engine oil, then rebolt it into the block. Torque?? Do it very lightly. Plug in the new sensor. Installation is reverse, of course. * REMOVE RAGS that you stuffed into the intake manifold! * Be cautious when bolting the two manifold halves back together because you are screwing into aluminium. I don't know the BMW torque values. * Replace manifold gaskets. * If your car runs very roughly when you're done (like mine did) you probably tore a vacuum hose (like I did) IIRC, the check engine light shut itself off when I started the car.

The cam positioner sensor is the culprit. Taking the car in for replacement, while my dealer warranty is still valid.

Brought the car in for warranty work. Three things: 1. Cam position sensor bad 2. Passenger door lock problems 3. Broken support frame for window actuator They fixed items 1 & 2 under warranty, the third is a $15.00 part, that I will replace. Checkout the bill, didn't pay a dime. I also got a Q35I Infinity for a loaner. The reason I got the Infinity is because I got the after market warranty from the Infinity dealer. The sister dealership next door is the BMW dealership. If I have to get any more warranty work, I'm gonna see if I can get a loaner from the BMW dealership. __________________ 1998 (July) 318ti, 5-spd OEM Armrest Blaupunkt Heidelberg CD50 CD Player/Compact Drive MP3 Player Diamond Audio 5.25" rear speakers Navman ICN 530 GPS BMWALARM.COM (with comfort settings) after market alarm system Magnecor 8.5mm wires M-Z3 Shifter/Momo Knob Burlwood Dashboard Stromung Exhaust X-brace Racing Dynamics Front Strut Bar Carbonio C.A.I. 17" Rial Rims Vader Seats/Heated/Lumbar Support M-tech Steering Wheel/Front Sway Bar/Front & Rear Bumper Depos/w 6500K Angel Eyes/6000K HIDs Clear Corners M3 Mirrors UUC Light Weight Flywheel/M5 Clutch/M3 Clutch Slave E28 3.46 LSD/Mcoupe Cover/E30 Flanges & Halfshafts UUC S.S.
