Electrical problem
1998 BMW Z3 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

Hello,

I have 1 98 BMW Z3 four cylinder that wont's start. Sometimes is cuts out while running too. The computer kicked a cam sensor code. I replaced it last week and thought my problems were solved. WRONG. I started it today, moved it a few feet to load it with stuff for a trip and subsequently it won't start again. No codes...

No start can be due to several issues. The problem with the no codes could be something in the DME, I have had trouble with them. Start with basic stuff like fuel pressure and spark. We can go from there.
