Hi,
This is the first time I'm posting a question here and english is not
my native language, so please beare with me.
I have a 2001, 525i which has been working flawlessly up until now.
Recently I've started to experience the following problem.
Sometimes when I start the engine, whenever I try to press the gas
pedal it dies. If I on the other hand just leave it running on idle,
there seems to be a slight variation in the RPM, but the engine does
not stop. However, if I press the gas pedal it stops immedeately.
If I leave the car overnight, the problem is gone, and when I'm driving
after a successfull start, there does not seem to be any problem with
the power of the engine.
This has happened three times during a two week period, but as far as I
remember, only when the motor has been warm. I haven't seen this when I
have made a cold start.
Anyone got some ideas?
Best Regards

Crankcase position sensor?

Hi,
That was exactly my repairmans educated guess when I described my
problems for him over the phone.
He will take a closer look at the car next friday, so we will see then.
Thanks for the help.
