2006 325i e90 has no power at all

Zokii-10 · 08-01-2013, 08:36 AM

Hey guy's i have tried doing some research and took my car to my mechanic to see what is wrong with my car, at first we thought it was the VANOS SOLENOIDS intake and exhaust but they were taken out and given a clean but that has not fixed the problem. I am really interested in seeing/finding out what is wrong with my car as it does not drive well at all, in fact it is nothing like when i first got it.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks

How many miles do you have? When was the last time you had your spark plugs and coils changed out? Also, how's the idle?

davidwarren · 08-01-2013, 10:01 AM

have you checked for any codes?

I went into this thread thinking total electrical system failure...

Check the crankshaft position sensor?

I have done 115,000kms (71457.7miles) I changed the spark plugs roughly around 100,000kms. Idle is not that great either. I have checked the crankshaft seems to be ok also.

You check the coil covers? My old 06 325i one of them wires fried.

No i have not checked them, i doubt the mechanic has also. Can you please tell me where they are located?
Thanks

Your ignition coils sit on top of the spark plugs. I recently replaced my coils and got back some low end power and much better gas mileage. My car never threw any codes either. Also, while you're in there. Make sure to check the eccentric shaft sensor for oil on the connectors.

Yes i have checked them, in fact we just checked them yesterday and everything seems to be fine

Check for vacuum leaks. That can suck the power out of the car and also cause idle issues.
