Description of the problem | Bmw n54 engine 1. Symptoms begin with increasing long-cranks on start-up. Eventually the engine performs at reduced power, and ultimately total loss of power. 2. I am on my 3rd high pressure fuel pump (hpfp) with approximately 25,000 miles on the car in 2 years and 2 months of ownership. Apparently the replacement of the hpfp frequently leads to a problem with the spark plugs, and coils which cause severe mis-firing and violent shaking. My coils were replaced as was a catalytic converter and an o2 sensor in between hpfp #1 and #2. At times the engine has cut power while at highway speeds causing a hazardous driving condition. 3. Bmw made available a hpfp from a new manufacturer (my #2 hpfp) and subsequently discontinued that part (part # ending in 943) and replaced it with part # ending in 933, which is a re-manufactured hpfp (the pump currently in my car). Each of the three pumps appears to be nearly identical, each has a high failure rate and none seem to address the root of the problem. |
