    You guys are life savers/money savers, it’s been two years since my bmw stopped running no crank no start. So many people told me is trash junk it and I almost gave in, just two days ago I got it to turn over. Now I just have to figure out why is not sparkling once that’s done boom the car will be back running. And this is the video that is gonna make that happen in the name of our creator amen..

    So basically testing it like the crankshaft position sensor? Easy. In one of my customers cars, it turned out to be the fuse next to the dme for the Crankshaft position sensor. These videos are indeed helpful for a young guy like me.

    I have a obd1 95 325is that I just put a brand new oem crankshaft position sensor in. still throwing code. I have heard since crank and cam are on the same line to dme it may be the cam sensor. going to ohm test cam sensor now and report back

    I fixed my CEL with the P0340 and the car runs like new. What I have learned the hard way is not to use ANY other brand than the BMW original part OR VDO (Siemens or Continental). There are brand names like Hella, Meyle or Bremi who have excellent products normally but BMW's are very special about their sensors!
    The problem many people miss is that a new non-BMW or non-VDO CPS might work exactely like the old damaged one; Making people believe that the problem must be in the wiring or the Crankshaft position sensor; BMW must have a failsafe system that it still runs with the "wrong" sensor making the problem so hard to diagnose.
    There are horror stories in the forums where people replaced harnesses and DME's just to find out that the sensor was the problem after all. The car might still start with a non-oem sensor; before you rule out the CPS as the problem make sure that you put an VDO or BMW sensor in it. If it still doesn't work get a second replacement one from BMW directly. A new VDO one is like 90 dollars a BMW one about 150 - after spending hours tearing the car apart just think whether 150 dollars is really that bad to be one the safe side!

    What you guys are looking for is a digital square wave 5v that gets pulled to ground when the metal reluctor wheel passes by the sensor and that’s how it knows the timing of your engine. Keep in mind that’s why these guys were showing you this info.
