Strange problem with my car

Chicks-Love-Bimmers · 12-01-2011, 08:24 PM

So today when I was doing a WOT pull, the check engine light came on and the car started to shake and vibrate. It would only shake when I push the throttle and when I let go, there wouldn't be any. I wasn't in limp mode or anything, and there was nothing on my iDrive that said there was something wrong, it just said "All Systems Okay." Once I turned off my car, it was fine again, but then another WOT pull and the same thing happened. I got home, tried reading the codes, but deleted them on accident. I went for a quick test drive and there was nothing wrong, I'm still worried it might happen again though, anyone know what might be wrong?

RaihaX · 12-01-2011, 08:27 PM

some sort of misfire?

Jeff@TopGearSolutions · 12-01-2011, 08:29 PM

Mileage? tune? Mods? Probably spark plugs, coilpacks, or fuel pump.

cn555ic · 12-01-2011, 08:30 PM

If you deleted the codes, just go out and go WOT a couple of times, I am sure the codes will pop up again...What are your mods, tune etc?

I'm running Procede V5, downpipes, intakes and FMIC. How do I fix misfires? New spark plugs?

Need to see what the codes that were triggered. Like I said take the car out and try to get the codes to trigger againa and read them..

same thing happened to me....

try the Vanos Ex sensor.....that's what happened to me

lostomni · 12-01-2011, 11:08 PM

Spark Plugs.

phipark · 12-01-2011, 11:45 PM

Just had this happened too. It was a misfire, cylinder 6. Not sure why though, changed plugs about 1k miles ago. Could be a coil. But I'm wonder if it has something to do with Cobb and the weather getting cold.

Chicks-Love-Bimmers · 12-02-2011, 12:17 AM

So I tried reading the code on my Procede and the numbers "12045" popped up on my program. That was the only number I saw (not sure if there's more than one code), but it looks like it's the radiator blind input signal (GLF) that's wrong with my car. If there was more than one code, would they all show up at once? Any advice on how I should fix this? I deleted it earlier today and it still pops up after driving around for a bit.

Chicks-Love-Bimmers · 12-02-2011, 01:38 PM

Alright so I scanned my car again after driving around and 2 more codes popped up which is 10704 (misfire in cylinder 4), 12045, and also 10740/10741. I'm not sure if I should just switch the plug out myself or just go to the dealership to see if they can clear the other codes. Do you guys think it'd be okay if I just left my procede in on map 0 while it's getting serviced? I have cat less dp so the cel will show even after the problem gets fixed if I take it out. I'm also out of warranty though besides the 120k fuel pump warranty. Any advice would be appreciated

Crazylegs · 12-02-2011, 02:56 PM

im in the same exact boat im pretty sure its misfires because it happened after i updated the new v5 11-1 maps more power sent me into misfire haven. waiting on new plugs.... if plugs go bad what are chances of coils going out as well?

and the symptoms mine had were intermiten after restart alls fine then if you go WOT 6/10 times it would kickout give ses light, or half engine, and then sound like its chocking trying to get fuel. as soon as restart though everything was like nothing happened

cn555ic · 12-02-2011, 03:17 PM

Shiv did state if your car is not on top of its game you should not run these new aggressive maps

well it was at the top of its game till the new maps kicked its ass down a notch. rematch will comence in the near future

Loco Goose · 12-02-2011, 03:26 PM

I'm having the same problem, after some agreesive driving, my SES light turns on but no limp mode, when I accelerate the car it shakes & is severely under powered. It's happened to me a couple times, after I turn off/on it runs fine. I started thinking its the HPFP but thats just me guessing.

I'm running JB4, exahust, DP, intake, intercooler, meth

I haven't read the codes at this time

Crazylegs · 12-02-2011, 03:29 PM

lol its cus its getting cold here in south florida car loves it old plugs dont

joec500 · 12-02-2011, 03:38 PM

Are you running Rev2 hardware??? I had similar issues with the 7-29 maps running Rev2 hardware. I have relatively new plugs, new HPFP, recalled Injectors. When I went back to the May Maps (5-x) I no longer had the mis-fire issues. I also upgraded to rev 2.5 hardware on the newest aggressive maps for the last 300 miles and everything is A-OK. Our cars have finicky fuel systems. So the same hardware on one car will be ok, but cause mis-fires on another car.

Chicks-Love-Bimmers · 12-02-2011, 03:59 PM

I'm on rev 2.5 running stage 3, I guess I should have ran stage 2 instead since I haven't upgraded my exhaust or diverter valves yet. Any idea where to get spark plugs for a good price or should I just take it into the dealership? Thanks for the responses!

Chicks-Love-Bimmers · 12-02-2011, 04:00 PM

Sounds like what I'm experiencing, did you try to read the codes? I have a feeling you migh need a new spark plug like me

me to..happened after i installed my dps yesterday..have no codes but 29F3, fuel pump sensor, electrical.. i turned off autoclearing since yesterday to see what other codes i might get aside from the regular cat codes (29F4/29F5) but i got absolutely NO codes..been driving with autoclearing off for a little while now and noo check engine lights are popping up nothing.. not even the regular cat codes which SHOULD pop up saying i have no cats but they dont show up either..the only thing that shows when i click read dme codes on the jb4 is 29F3, fuel pump sensor and it doesn't cause any ses or cel light to come on..very confused and dont know what the next step should be..as i said im running my car with catles dps and have autoclearing turned OFF at the moment. my car went into that limp mode or whatever the first post described when autoclearing was turned ON..its been OFF ever since..

the OP described what happened best..

Chicks-Love-Bimmers · 12-03-2011, 03:42 PM

So I took out my Procede and now when I go WOT, there's no vibrations

I did see the code for a misfire in cylinder 4 when I scanned my car with the Procede in, but after the removal of my tune, no vibrations or not even a cel for my downpipes and I drove around for a good 10 miles.
