Blanco Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 P38 has a 'timeout' on the immobiliser, make sure you 'unlock' again just before trying to start, supposed to be 30 secs but mine would be less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escape Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 If the immobilizer is activated, it wont even turn over. The BMW engine can be difficult to start, the cold weather wont be helping. Are you sure the battery is up to the job? If it's not spinning fast enough, it wont fire. Maybe try jumpleads just to be sure. Otherwise check if you're getting fuel from the filter to the injection pump on the block. You can always spray some start pilot (brake cleaner) in the intake to verify it's fuel related.
