My Car Can't Start..

[jasonnn]

Dear all,As per the title, my car decided NOT to start. Past two weekend ago, while I was driving on NKVE, my car has loss of power, rpm dropped to 500 rpm, engine was vibrating, car sounded bad and it seems its like a misfire from the exhaust. So, I managed to crawl home to Subang and parked the car since then. Today, I tried starting up the car, it started for about 5 seconds, but soon after the rpm dropped and the engine went dead. I tried starting up the car again, but it couldn't start. So, now my car's left at home and am wondering what had has just happened to my car? No warning lights appear. Car has just been serviced last November, and barely clocked 2k km since then.It's a 325i 04 model, with about 76k km on the odo and I've been religiously servicing my car every 6 months.

Hi jasonnn, i've had the same issue with my e39 last month..car stalled and could not start. when diagnosed, it was the faulty cam sensor. I would suggest that you contact the mechanic you trust and get it diagnosed with OBD. It should be able to tell you the fault code.. good luck

I'll get it checked repaired before the CNY holidays. Anyway, spoke to the mechanic, he mentioned that it could be the ignition coil that is spoilt. I've never replaced any ignition coil and my last spark plug changed was quite awhile back.
