    Default 7 Series E38 intermitant starting

    Hello everybody. have a 7 series which starts then cuts out and after acouple of turns then starts. to me looks as if the cam and crank sensors are out of phase. or a possible immo fault where the cam signal is cut but disconnected reader coil and vehicle doesnt crank so kinda ruled that out. anybody have any ideas??

    Fault code present.. cam signal 112

    what i have done.

    Changed cam sensor with orignal bmw
    checked wiring to ecu.
    checked vehicle timing.

    guna put a crank sensor in next

    Hi friend.
    When the car fails you are able to turn again the motor with the key even if it doesnt start?
    Normally in BMW when you have immo problems the motor doesnt crank when you go with the key.
    The RPM are in the correct value?.
    It seems to be cramshaft sensor my friend, check the signal and if it is ok.
    If it stops to send the signal the car stops but normally the RPM are not stable.
    Regards,
    Nuno
