    2012 335i shutoff while accelerating

    I was out driving my 335i last night and got on it a little bit while accelerating the car shut down and left me stranded. I got it back home and put an old code reader on it which gave 3 codes. Car wont start back up.

    P0368 camshaft position sensor b circuit high input

    P0343 camshaft position sensor a circuit high input

    P1235 Fuel Pump Control Out Of Range
    The code reader didn't have the definition for this one

    Would the camshaft sensors be the cause of the fuel problem or vice versa? Or are they two completely different problems?

    I'd follow the fuel pump code first and make sure the car runs before going any further.

    Where would the best place to start tracking down the fuel problem be?

    You could manually check the low-fuel pressure system with a gauge.

    Does the car crank and run? Is there gas in it? Did you tow it home or drive it home?

    The car cranks but doesn't run. There is gas in it. It was towed home.

    Sounds like you know what to do. Find out if you have fuel pressure. Disconnect the fuel line in the engine bay and see if gas pumps out when you crank the engine.

    Got a new code reader and its saying that I have about 82psi in the fuel rail so fuel should be good. Changed a cam sensor and still getting the codes

    Which sensor are you reading? 82 psi in the high pressure system is not enough.
