Hello all I just had my E90 335i with 60K in at the dealer for a new transmission gasket and mechatronic sleeve. They did a full inspection and found that my oil filter housing is leaking which I will fix on my own. Before taking the car in I removed my JB4 just to be on the safe side. Well today I was driving on the highway and everytime I punch it at any speed from 4500 to 5000 RPM the 1/2 CEL comes on without the JB4 installed. Feels like the car goes into limp mode when the 1/2 CEL is on. The only way I can get it back to normal is if I shut the car off and restart it. No long cranks at startup or any other thing unusal. Not sure what to do or if the stealership did anything weird and I don't have any CPO.

Reinstall your jb4 so that you can read the codes.

Its exactly like my symptoms of my car when my Low pressure sensor was bad and needed to be replaced...Here is the thread. You also need to check for codes and if you see 29DC or 29F3 there is your issue!

I was thinking about that but how about taking it to advance auto for a scan before installing the JB4? Before when the JB4 was installed no issued what so ever and car was running good

check the codes..That is first and foremost. I mean it could be a coincidence that this happened but like I said to really diagnose what the issue is, you need the fault codes from the DME

yea I'm gonna have to do that

If you have INPA working and have the Dcan cable this would be a quick diagnosis

I'm not sure what your talking about. Just took into Advance auto for a scan but they didn't find anything. I'm gonna reinstall the jb4 and see what happens. Not sure if its a vac leak, coils, plugs, or injectors. The car doesn't feel like a misfire

Just so we dont miss the obvious, if your spark plugs are older then 25K miles they may need replacement from misfires. As the spark plugs age the gap gets larger.

Yea the plugs were replaced at 40k and the car now has 60,800 miles. Got that from the service files

[GTstunna612]

Not sure what to do...gonna reinstall the jb4 and see what happens...hopefully I can read delete the code or auto clear it out.

[GTstunna612]

giving you all a update not sure why the 1/2 CEL light came on, I reinstalled the jb4 and cleared the codes and now the car runs great. building boost and no limp mode even in the higher RPMs. will def keep an eye on it and check for codes...what a relief feel better now
