    98 528i bmw no crank no start. Check engine light flashes rapidly when turning key

    I went to turn on my car, only to turn the key and have all instruments illuminate and the fuel pump actuate, but no cranking whatsoever. When I attempted to start the car, the check engine light flashes rapidly as I turn the key, and stops once I release it and remains on solid as it should. I’ve had a check engine light on for awhile, but no driving issues at all. Read codes that indicated an oxygen sensor bank 2 sensor 1 and replaced Both with same brand it cane with. Since then more codes came such as mixture deviation and all sensors coming up. Cleaned maf sensor and car still drives good just light is still on. Moved things around and managed to turn on the car without blinking, but did not leave on to Check for rough idle. Any suggestions are appreciated.

    Possibly. But my cylinder head blew days later so it does not matter anymore. If you could check out my other post and maybe help me out I would greatly appreciate!

    I was going to but my cylinder head blew a few days later. So now I'm working on that. If you could check out my other post and maybe share some advice I would greatly appreciate it.

    No codes. Just the starter began dying on me. I’m good now!
