I get a dead miss in my 05 325i after so long it goes into limp mode especially with the ac on please help
2005 year, BMW (secret) 325i, engine , inline 6cyl. the E46, engine type. M54B22 2.17liters.????
the USA engine or Europe or what?
NO country told wow that is a hard nut question.
get it serviced in a real shop ! end.
no real evidence told, only
what means limp, ASE defined, USA>? or you speak that in some untold why ,what does limp mean to you.
ASE defines that is what you get in EFI PCM limphome mode. or CEL lamp stuck on.
and...
limp home, happens on many things in car.
ECU/PCM limp for engine , failures DTC gross errors, why not scan the PCm first.? SCAN it with real BMW scan tool to see all BMW codes (DTC)
transmission limp mode. happen too, again scan it.
if in use the scan tool OBD2 fits to the 16pin USA scan port called DLC. and a good tool sees all P0xxx codes and P1xxx p2 ,p3 up BMW factory codes. DTC, using the wrong tool is working blind
no modern car can be fixed now lacking a tool of such kind
drive line, airbags, ABS, and more. lots more.
NO RPM told hot and cold engine, and parked or driven, that is huge clue that
is the thermostat stuck open?> not a 180f to 200f coolant scanned.
voltage goes down? if battery voltage on 800rpm HOT running engine
falls below 13.3vdc the alternator is failing
13.3 to 14.7 is par, running, below never.
key off is 12.6v SOC 100% fully charged.
Limp on the engine, PCM , means gross engine control errors
of senors or actuators or even a bad engine.
and all set DTC errors you forgot to do that. scan it first.
Check engine lamp glows running is the 1st clue
A.K.a. CEL, SES OR MIL LAMP.
there are lots of symptoms not told and good and bad both matter !!
and no tests done at all. parts replaced sure.
tell more evidence. or do the tests. both.
