Hello,
Hello all! My son recently bought a 318i with a build date of 6/97. 260k miles. We drove it an hour and brought it back and it sat overnight. The next morning it would crank but not start. Since we didn’t know when the crank and camshaft sensors were last replaced we replaced them. We get no spark and no power to fuel pump. We had canbus errors and could not get a response from DME. We checked relays and we do have power to DME. 3 grounds were checked. Pulled DME and found a quarter sized amount of rust and major issue with DME. I purchased another silver label DME (same numbers) and it now communicates with INPA. I tried syncing EWS2, but don’t see the option F6 to resync it like the videos show on YouTube. I just bought a Vagcom cable (still waiting on Amazon shipping) and am wondering if that will fix it. I am curious if there is something I need to do to get a EWS 2 sync. Any Ideas? Do I need a laptop w/serial output to get this to work? I humbly ask as I am confused now.
