EWS doesn't stop the engine rotating just stops spark and/or fuel. You have fuel on plugs so I'm guessing spark (even more stupid) that's why people spend a lot of time solving EWS because it should not crank but does.

I suspect a limitation with the phone m scanning software. Even with bimmerlink and bimmercode I most certainly need to use foxwell. That said good thing you didn't get the 630 because the software you have is better!

Foxwell nt510/20/30 or nt710 are the models that do bidirectional scanning and can correct and diagnose EWS.
