P0355 code...running rough...question
 

Pulled a P0355 code this morning that appears to be the #5 coil pack. Not a real big deal since they are probably original.

My question is....can I drive it to work and then replace it this afternoon. It has a loss of power but still runs...but a little rough.


Thanks


Shawn

If you have to, you can.

Ok,

I changed the coil pack and now it is still running the same. I now get a p1335 code.

Any ideas.

Here what google found....

OBDII CODE LIST » P1335

OBDII Codes Powered by
P1335

P1335 - Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKPS) (REF)

Possible causes:

Harness or connectors (The crankshaft position sensor (REF) circuit is open or shorted.)
Crankshaft position sensor (REF)
Starter motor
Starting system circuit
Dead (Weak) battery


Symptoms:

- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)

UPDATE

So the code was not 1335 but a 1355 which is a misfire in #7 I believe. I pulled all the plugs this weekend and replaced them and still no bottom end power and rough idle. Feels like I have a MOPAR cam in the thing sitting still.

I am giving in and having towed to the indy shop to see what is up.

The number 5 plug was pretty rough and might explain the first code saying the coil was bad, but the rest of the plugs appeared to just be pretty old.

I will know more today.

Thanks for all the tips.

P0355 code...running rough...question UPDATE
 

Talked to the shop and #7 and #8 coil packs are bad. Good news is there is nothing really wrong...bad news it will cost me twice as much or more since i had it all torn apart this weekend and could have done it myself.

What OBDII tool would have told me this much info or is there another tool to use. Pretty sure I could have saved my self $300 or more since I already put a coil on #5. It needed new spark plugs so no worries there.

Thanks,

Shawn

what i have, well worth the money

That $300 would gave gone nicely for a laptop with DIS loaded on it. Best bet for BMW diagnosis and trouble shooting.
