I replaced my valve cover along with the plugs and coils. The car turns over but won't run. It started a few times but it dies without going to idle.


I tried to upload a video but website keeps timing out. I have already checked I don't see anything disconnected.


Also, the check engine light is on but there were no codes when I read it with DIS 57.

 

Something seems to be unplugged

 

It sounds like you need to reset your valvetronic motor.

 

I've heard that if that valve cover seal is not completely sealed, it will run like crud throwing codes, die, etc....

 

Check your coil plugs/connectors one more time. I had a similar issue when I did my valve cover gaskets on N62. Cylinder 8 coil appeared to be properly plugged in and secured, but was not. Once I fixed that issue, the car finally started and ran good.

 

THE SOLUTION!!!!

After removing the new coils and replacing them with the old coils same issue, made sure everything was plugged in properly. Still , no go, I couldn't find any glaring issues, like I said everything was plugged in correctly, I went over it several times.

After $300 at a reputable Indy they said the solenoids were installed improperly, R&R all 4 solenoids car is running great.

Not sure exactly how they were installed incorrectly, maybe I plugged the intake in exhaust not sure.
