| I have a 2002 530i sport. On hot days when the air is running and I sit at a stop light or in traffic for a extended pioiod of time. The car will bog and quit running when I step on the excellerator. The dash print out says system failure. I pull over and restart the car and it runs fine. Any ideas? |

Had a similar thing with my 540 sport had it diagnostic checked showing crank sensor fault, only done it a couple of times so not done anything about it yet, had similar from a MAF fault on an Imprezza turbo years ago, worth a try?

Dunno about E39s or system failure faults, but one spurious cause of CPS faults is the front pulley vibration damper. If the rubber starts to fail then it goes eccentric and throws the sensor.

Funny you should mention that my e39 has a bush split on a steering
arm which creates a clunk on braking,has been a prelude to mine not starting and a crank sensor fault?.... ------------- Present:2000 540iA Sport,Renault Traffic 115 Past:Toyoya Hiace, Iveco Daily, Tranny x 2, VW Caddy, UK Impreza Turbo, Fiesta D, Carlton 2L, Cav GSI 16V, Golf Gti,Celica GTR, BMW 325, R5GT Turbo, VFR NC30, Pug 309 Gti, BMW 316, Datsun Sunny, Commer camper, Fiesta 950,H100,RD50, MK2 Escort Mexico Rep |

Getting that with mine, the trip, mpg and avg speed reset and the radio clock will reset.
