Damn....cranking is taking too long

AussieRacer · 09-21-2009, 07:29 AM

For the past week it just seems every now and that it takes far too long to get going.....the engine, that is!

In the morning seems worse as the pressure is obviously leaking out overnight. If it continues for another week I'll book her in for a check-up, as I assume there'll be the corresponding errors that the pump is going. Again I'm talking about the 135i, nothing else.

Looks like you are joining the exclusive HPFP Fail club.. Welcome..mine was replaced 11 months ago..

andrew@southernBM · 09-21-2009, 04:53 PM

Welcome, i hope you enjoy your stay at club HPFP.

After initial long cranks it usually goes down hill pretty fast........if it is the pump. BMW will do a fuel pressure test to determine and yes, you should have a code.

How long is long?

Mine still doing sub 0.5-1 sec.

kingtut1970 · 09-21-2009, 07:46 PM

Are we talking about the time it takes to have the engine kick over and start??

kingtut1970 · 09-21-2009, 07:53 PM

I know it's probably a stupid question..

Oh that is very long.

I normally press the button first before the brake pedal (clutch in manual). It is like as soon as I press to the end of the brake stroke. The car starts...

Is the new fuel pump an updated version?

CT135 · 09-21-2009, 11:40 PM

Kingtut - is that your new numberplate in your profile?

AussieRacer · 09-22-2009, 12:29 AM

You'll know when it takes longer as it just doesn't "feel normal". Feels like ages, but the reality is it is probably taking barely a second longer.

I did have a limp (reduced power) about two months ago, and a ODBII scan revealed a fuel error, but the car was running fine otherwise so dismissed as once off.

YEA CT135 that my plates

Nope, he had his old plates on Sunday.

kingtut1970 · 09-22-2009, 03:12 AM

OT: Guran is right - had my standard plates on, I have not recieved the new ones yet

Alext · 09-22-2009, 03:19 AM

How many KMS you have on the clock?

AussieRacer · 09-22-2009, 03:41 AM

13,800km. Car is July '08 build. Even driving home from work tonight a got a slightly longer start up crank. Car was sitting still for only 3.5 hours, but had been given a slight workout prior.
