E39 530i Starts then immediately dies

Recommended Posts

Hi all, 

I have a 2002 e39 530i. I had not driven it for a month or so and when I went to start the car it would crank, start, then immediately die again. Scanned it and got P0102 (low voltage for MAF). Unplugged maf/cleaned maf- same result. Any ideas where to start ?

dead fuel pump ? fuel pump relay ? 

how much fuel in the tank ?

massive vac leak ? intake boot split ?

About a quarter tank. No split in the intake boot. Will check fuel pump/relay. Thanks

check for constant fuel supply when cranking 

, one common issue on these is syphon tank system seals/orings failing 

so when quarter tank and below it wont suck fuel from left side of tank

try adding some fuel to the tank then see if it starts and runs 

or check if rhs is empty but still has fuel on lhs 

the green fuel relays often fail on these in the boot 

and fuel pumps die also with age etc (and sucking air from running on empty)
