    528i starts, idles weirdly then dies out? Could it be my fuel pump?

    I just replaced my fuel pump 14k miles ago. Yesterday I replaced my rear subframe, rotors and brake pads. (Had to remove entire exhaust kit to remove sub and Diff.) I put everything back how its supposed to, even checked my intake sensor and it seems fine. Has anyone else had this Issue and resolved it?

    How long does it stay on for , sounds like possibly you have a vacuum leak. We're the o2 sensors removed when you dropped the exhaust?

    Nah, surprisingly my exhaust didn't even have sensors connected to the kit. Also I checked my MAF sensors but they are fine. When it runs it has a lot of vibration and sounds like crap. I "reset" my fuel pump, and it ran for about 30sec before failing again.

    I'd like to say that a 14k mile old fuel pump wouldnt go bad but I've seen much worse . Is it throwing a code . And how did you check your maf .
