N62 after replacement valve cover gasket SES on, Engine Fail safe, loss of power etc
Hi,
I have a 2004 X5 4.4i with 80k, and have been burning oil recently (the notorious uncle buck- like clouds after stop lights). Decided to replace valve cover gaskets and did passenger side first (bank A?). found that half of the Eccentric sensor clip was broken, and i broke the half. I DUCT-TAPED the sensor plug in, but ever since the repair, I get SES light on, engine struggling under load at acceleration and going into Engine Fail-Safe program, but if I take it easy on the pedal, it will get up to 80 mph easy... Any idea what may be the issue? Do I have to replace the Eccentric sensor? it is very expensive... I feel like i did something wrong when removing or re-inserting the servo motor or is the Eccentric shaft sensor not functioning properly as it is not 100% tight on... I am afraid now to start on the other bank and perhaps do more damage... Any help would be welcomed I love the car, it's in great condition with such low milleage, I would like to keep it if it is not a money pit.. Thank you |
