Starts, Sputters, Dies within 5 secs
My car died on me couple days ago, had to get it towed.
The car would start up fine, but would die right away. If i start it up and give it gas, the car would still die while giving it gas. I am able to start it up, quickly put it in drive or reverse, and go for about 3-5 seconds before it shutoff on me and goes into neutral mode. I have 1/2 tank of gas, its a 08 535i. No check engine light or codes thrown, i tried using the carly obd reader. |
Did you do anything to the car just prior to the problem occurring?
|
Nope. Was driving, heard a bang and a min later car stalled at a red light.

What do you mean "shut off"? After the engine died, you had no dash lights, no radio, etc?
OR everything worked correctly other than the engine stopped running? Can you do the 5 sec test over and over? OR once it stops running, it won't start again for a while? |

It sounds like your air intake sensor that is just after your air filter
It happened to me exactly as you have mentioned |

Yes the MAF sensor
Do you have a friend with a BMW that you can try his? |
Will it run with the MAF disconnected?
