[QUOTE="absidian, post: 278279, member: 4356"] Good news you got the problem solved. Faulty camshaft sensor doesn't usually kill idle, it makes the engine lose power instead. I think the "input sensor" he changed is probably the crank angle sensor (bmw call it the crankshaft pulse generator) which DOES kill idle, especially when engine warm. Btw... it is better not to run your fuel tank right to the bottom because it encourages the little debris at the bottom to get sucked into your fuel lines and clog the filter/injectors. :) --- [/QUOTE]
