Fuel Trim Code 3.0i M54
E4- Lambda regulator deviation bank 2. I had a code last winter saying both fuel trims were running rich based off a generic scanner that I had at the time. The car misfires a little on cold start but it lasts a fraction of a second. I would misfire (as it sounds to me) for literally half a second then all good but only when cold. The car runs fine just this code that surprised me yesterday. I took apart all of the intake boots and non were cracked. I replaced the one going to the throttle body and ICV a while back and while I was at it I checked the DISA and cleaned both the Throttle body and ICV. What are your thoughts? |

You CAN diagnose this on your own, but it is a little tricky with a steep (not quick) learning curve. A great tool for this is called OBDFusion which is a phone app. You also need a wireless OBD2 reader.
Here is an excellent post from the E46 crowd: https://www.e46fanatics.com/threads/obd-fusion.1240733/ If you are running lean, it's usually due to a vacuum leak and there are literally maybe 12 different ways you can have a vacuum leak on an M54...a rip in an intake boot is an obvious one...But a smoke test is a good way of finding vacuum leaks. If you are running rich, It could be a bad MAF sensor or leaking fuel injectors, or too much fuel pressure...But don't just throw parts at it. I saw your other post regarding a sunroof repair. You should find a competent non-dealer specialist and just pay the man to figure out your fuel trims. |
