5 stomps in 5 seconds, right? What am I doing wrong?

Also, anybody know a good mechanic in Nashville, TN?

1. Turn the ignition key on (without starting the car) and depress the accelerator pedal to the floor 5 times within 5 seconds.
2. The check engine light will remain lit for 5 seconds, blink off, light for 2.5 seconds, goes off for 2.5 sec. and will start flashing the codes.
3. Each code is separated by a 2.5 sec. pause. A 0.5 sec. blink then nothing means the end of the code reading. To read them again, depress the accelerator pedal 5 times again.

Has anyone ever done this stomp test on a 95' 540i and made it work?

I've never been able to get the stamp test to work. I've done a freaking engine swap, but I can't get the stomp test.

Keep trying. It has a mind of its own ... sometimes you'll hit it on the first try, other times you'll spend all evening trying and not get it to work.

Best tip I can give: start stomping as soon as you turn the key.

I've had my codes flash with no problem. ('95 540i/A)

Make sure you're stomping the pedal hard enough that it hits the button on the floor.

As soon as you turn the key did the trick.

Thanks..

And the saga continues...
