HELP! Truck turns on and turns right back off
 

Hey guys, my mother's truck wont stay on. i wrote about it here http://www.xoutpost.com/x5-e53-forum/...g-cluster.html, if anyone can please help it would be very greatly appreciated, thanks much

idle control valve is bad.

call road side assistance and bring it back to the dealer...

cool ill look into that. which part would that be? is that #13 here http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...11&fg=10&hl=97
?

its an 02' no longer on warranty...

# 13 is not the right one
here the P/N 11617508541.

so, I'm looking for #2 on this one? http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...=11&fg=40&hl=4
it says cover, so im not sure if thats the right part...

Just an idea, but I had a similar problem and found that the MAF housing was loose, the truck would start and sometimes run for a few minutes but would stall. The problem was air getting in through a loose MAF housing and defeating the computer. It's easy to check it and eliminate it form the problem diagnosis.

checked, and no luck... MAF sensor seemed prefectly tight
