Another Engine Malfunction PROBLEM Helppp!

e92snail · 09-14-2013, 12:19 AM

So ive noticed this a few times now.. Im cruising on the highway at around 90-100mph and at time under light/mid acceleration and my Engine Malfunction light flashes on dash and i-drive...and cuts power. I have not experienced any rough idles or long starts. So i don't think its the HPFP. Also if i shut car off and turn back on its gone. Experienced it on AUTOTUNE map Any idea's? Thanks in Advance. Does not throw a Check engine light either or shuttering or roughness. Just Malfunction.

Also im tuned with jb4, DCI, Catless DPs, Tial BOV and charge pipe, HPF exhaust.

You may also want to check your vanos solenoids. My car was doing the same thing. I replaced the vanos solenoids and it has not happened since. First check codes. Next search the forums for related issues. Last take out your wallet because cheap and BMW repairs do not go hand in hand.

There are a lot of things to check. All of which are worthless until you pull codes and log

e92snail · 09-18-2013, 10:18 PM

Its not throwing any codes. My JB4 is not on auto-delete codes. I Clear them manually.

e92snail · 09-18-2013, 10:19 PM

And it has not thrown any yet...

If you have no codes then who knows. Somtimes with particular faults you need to be at wot for a number of seconds before it will throw a code. Try driving with you laotoo in the car. Go what till a lights comes on and read as soon as you idrive shows the fault. Thats the only way I could find my 30ff code.
