Hi Nick
I have a 2001 330xi and had a check engine light come on about two months ago. Diagnostics read a cam shaft position sensor A. I cleared the code and drove the vehicle for three weeks until the check engine light appeared again and confirmed the previous fault code appeared a second time. The next day I went to drive the vehicle and it wouldn't start. The engine wants to turn over but just won't take that final step to engage the engine. Both the intake and exhaust cam shaft positioning sensors were replaced five months ago with new ones. Any suggestions as to what is going on?

Is the fault code for the camshaft sensor back? Have you checked fo fault codes? I can't help without knowing what is missing from the system when you are trying to start it. When your engine doesn’t start you’ll want to check the basics. Check spark, fuel injector pulse and pressure fuel, volume and quality. Are there any fault codes? Once you figure out what is missing, it will be easier to diagnose.
