Hello everyone, looked on the forums but could not find an answer for my problem. So here it is :
Just finished doing the valve cover gasket on my 2008 323i (canadian version) and the car is impossible to start (could not get it to start since I did the VCG)
What I know for now :
The starter motor works / turns
Injectors are working fine, the plugs get fouled when I crank for too long
Battery is low (charged it and had the same problem)
No change if I unplug the VVT motor / harness thingy
No oil in the round connector on top of the valve cover
I have a crank and both cam signals on computer (verified with an oscilloscope)
Coils get voltage (14v), but never get any fire signal from DME
Here is a list of all the codes I could get a hand on in INPA (I have NO CEL on:
2F9E Thermic oil lever sensor (I suppose it was due to the valve cover leaking, I had to add oil once in a while, when the car told me so)
2A1A Tank ventilation system (probably the fuel cap that was not clicked)
29D0 Missfire on cylinder 4
2DEC Power management, battery monitoring
2DED Power management, closed-circuit current monitoring
2A39 Valvetronic, adjustement range (I cleared the adapations value in INPA, not knowing what I was doing)
What could it be ? At this point, I don't really know what too look for. Thanks alot !
