CodeCrusader Posted January 4, 2024 Share Posted January 4, 2024 Going to replace this sensor, after fitting, will the vehicle prime the gasoline lines itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carBlacken Posted January 4, 2024 Share Posted January 4, 2024 If you are able to quickly switch it over to prevent the rail from completely draining, you should be alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeCrusader Posted January 4, 2024 Author Share Posted January 4, 2024 After replacing the sensor, I saw that no gasoline was being released from the rail. Is it typical for the engine to need extensive cranking in order to start, considering the delay? Additionally, I have seen that the engine is running somewhat unevenly after the sensor replacement. Is this to be expected? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rojoires Posted January 4, 2024 Share Posted January 4, 2024 There is likely air trapped in the system. Allow some distance for it to gradually dissipate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carBlacken Posted January 4, 2024 Share Posted January 4, 2024 It is necessary to reset adaptations after modifying fuel or air components. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeCrusader Posted January 4, 2024 Author Share Posted January 4, 2024 Apologies for the inconvenience, but could you maybe clarify the meaning of "reset adaptions"? Is it possible to do this task using Bimmerlink? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clk320x4 Posted January 4, 2024 Share Posted January 4, 2024 There is no need to reset them, particularly if you are not experiencing any issues. After replacing the mass air flow (MAF) and oxygen (O2) sensors in my 116i, I did not reset them since the vehicle performed well and achieved much improved fuel efficiency.

CodeCrusader Posted January 4, 2024 Author Share Posted January 4, 2024 I used the same sensor type manufactured by Bosch. As a novice in this field, I am perplexed by the fact that the fuel rail was devoid of gasoline. This might perhaps be attributed to my action of inadvertently damaging one of the injector lines while attempting to assess the pressure. The car's performance is satisfactory, however it may have a little delay in acceleration at startup, likely caused by the presence of residual air that has yet to be ejected.

CodeCrusader Posted January 4, 2024 Author Share Posted January 4, 2024 Regarding this ongoing situation, I apologise for the inconvenience. After installing the new sensor, I attempted to start the device earlier. It required a significant amount of cranking, and when I took it for a run, it exhibited a slight lack of responsiveness. I turned it off and attempted to start it again, and it was still sluggish. However, it eventually started and reached the normal idle speed. I then reinstalled the old sensor, and the device started without any issues, and everything is currently functioning properly. We welcome any suggestions or insights.

carBlacken Posted January 4, 2024 Share Posted January 4, 2024 (edited) You must reset the adaptations for it, like I said before. Edited January 4, 2024 by carBlacken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeCrusader Posted January 4, 2024 Author Share Posted January 4, 2024 Is it possible to do this using either BimmerCode or BimmerLink? If not, whatever sort of scanner would be capable of doing this task? Can you provide any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeCrusader Posted January 4, 2024 Author Share Posted January 4, 2024 Is there an alternative tool available at a relatively low cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carBlacken Posted January 4, 2024 Share Posted January 4, 2024 Approximately a mere 7 hours remain before then, accompanied with a humorous tone 😂 I am uncertain about the existence of affordable scanners capable of doing the task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeCrusader Posted January 4, 2024 Author Share Posted January 4, 2024 I have been examining the Autophix Enhanced 7910 Full-System Code Reader, which is specifically designed to be compatible with BMW vehicles. Although it offers a wide range of features, its price is around £130. Will it be effective? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
