    Anybody wanna take a stab at it

    Ok this car came to me with no start issue. After 45 minutes i got it to start it gave me the following codes Vanos Mechanical Jam, Crankshaft sensor, and camshaft sensor. SO I replaced the crankshaft sensor and the camshaft sensor I drove it last night for 30 miles periodically stopping it and restarting it. I restarted it probably 12 times no CEL ran fine. So this morning i wanted to make sure it was fixed. I hopped in it started it drove it stopped shut it off and tried to restart and i get the CEL and no start I am positive it is going to throw me either Crankshaft or Camshaft. Anybody have ANY ideas at all??

    Well i guess i missed the main infor LOL its a 98 528i with 90k on it

    Depending on his build date, his 528 only has single vanos and one CPS.
    1. M52 - single VANOS I6 engine [1997-98 528i]
    2. M52TU - double VANOS I6 engine [1999-00 528i/iT]
    3. M54 - double VANOS 2.5 liter I6 engine [2001-03 525i/iT]
    4. M54 - double VANOS 3.0 liter I6 engine [2001-03 530i]
    5. M62 - (no VANOS) "straight up" V8 engine [1997-98 540i]
    6. M62TU - single VANOS V8 engine [1999-03 540i/iT]
    7. S62 - double VANOS V8 engine [2000-03 M5]
    CPS is part #17 below.

    Did you use aftermarket sensors or OE?
