doesnt work i tried it also. Help someone b4 i put my pedal thru the ground

 

[airlordz]

nato any ideas????? Have you tried yours before and it worked

 

[grc]

maybe you think it doesn't work because you have no stored codes? why do you want to have a stored code so bad? is there some reason you are expecting to get a code? no codes is a good thing!

My check engien light came on. So i wanted to know why it came on. Has to do with the emissions so the manual says but i will like to fix it if its going to cause problems

Wow, guys have a little patience, as SOON as you turn the car on, press the petal up and down FULLY 5 times. It will work. It worked for me. If there's nothing wrong it will still give you a code. Most likely a 1444 depending on your car. I just did it and it worked fine. Took me 3 shots but I got it to work no problem.

some auto part stores will read the codes for you, hoping to be able to sell you something. it might be worth asking but don't get your hopes up to high being that were talking BMW. you can try looking around on this site http://www.waycoolinc.com/z3/essentials/fixit/index.html you might find something, i don't know?

 

[airlordz]

it worked. My EGO sensor # 1 is faulty whatever that means. Any idea what that means guys

I found this site today before I saw this post. The pelican parts site says that it's not possible with OBDII cars, for that they use a special tool. I tried it and it didn't work (95 325i). I'll try to do it right after I turn the key next time.

whats knock sensor #2?

 

[Natopotato]

wow u guyz went crazy on my thread hehehe yes IT DOES WORK iv done it!!!

my problem was my key was not far enough turned... i had it where the radio and stuff turns on... u gota go a little bit further to RIGHT BEFORE the engine turns.

sory this probly only works for pre 96-97ish cars odb2 readers can be picked up on ebay for 50bux i got one of the readers it works great

here is a link to the obd code reader i use on my 96+ cars 50bux.. its cheaper then one diag from dealer [or anywhere] http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=43998&item=2430987288

leme know if i should not have the link here.. ill remove it
