So if anyone wants more, your saying hanz and franz will have to strike a few more, from the fire filled forges of the german mountains, where they harvest precious metals to use only on bmw parts??

How did the rest of your sensors check out?

Knock sensors are new. Haven't touched the cam sensor. Will do the coolent temp sensor next time I pull the intake. At this point I'm betting on the vanos. Replacing it next weekend along with some s50 cams and squid tune.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

Damn, this sounds frustrating. I'm in just to see what happens, hope you can sort it out.
Seafoam didn't do anything for me either; I had my motor rebuilt afterwards and the pistons and valves were still horrifyingly caked with deposits, though to be fair it was burning significant oil. Also I didn't experience any pinging despite a that and a bad HG / poor compression.

You mentioned it was different/worse on a different ECU - does it change much when you unplug the battery for awhile then try again? I wonder what the adaptations are doing, maybe that holds a clue.

I ordered a new cam sensor to install while I'm replacing the vanos unit because you need to remove the vanos solenoid anyway. I couldn't find any ohm specs for the cam sensor though. Just the crank sensor.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

Well it appears the rebuilt vanos and new cam sensor did nothing. I will still install the rebuilt vanos on the e34 though just because it probably could use it so I will report back with that.
Also yesterday I installed a new ecu coolent temp sensor and new oil cap as well as swapped coil packs. Still nothing.
Today I will swap injectors and fpr.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.
