Suspicious sporadic start

I bought a foxwell scanner for working on my e53. It's really never let me down. Always gets to the module I need.

Did it have the no start problem before you did the work? When it has started was it only when the engine was 'cold'. When it starts will engine rev normally?

I wouldn't do anything until I replaced the battery. You're going to need one anyway. I wouldn't replace anything or take anything apart. After installing new battery I would clear the codes and see what comes back when it starts the next time.

Well the guy I bought it from said that it idles but when you press the gas pedal, it wouldn't respond. So when I got it home, it didn't start either. It wasn't until the next day that it started up and it idled rough, like he stated. But going to put new battery in along with the new pedal and see what happens.

Did I miss what you are using for scanner?

I'm using INPA and ISTA.

You can do a screen shot or else people take pic with their phone

I tried that. It's too big of a file to upload.
