Is this vehicle new to you or have you been driving it when these issues suddenly appeared?
I'll be back in for updates, this is interesting.
I bought this car about a month ago for $1000. I knew it had problems but didn’t mind a project car. The kid who had it before me didn’t take good care of it and he stated it was in limp mode. The secondary cats were stolen and O2 sensors were damaged. I replaced the missing cats and added new O2 sensors. I’ve also replaced the old crankshaft and camshaft sensors. I’ve also replaced the throttle assembly for the throttle position sensor as the car dies as soon as you press the pedal. I believe it’s a timing issue based on what the engine sounds like. Next I plan to replace the VVT solenoids but only after I’ve confirmed it’s a timing issue.
I have a mechanic that will do all the heavy lifting for me but since he’s been busy, I’ve tried to do what I could in the meantime.
BTW, I’ve watched all your videos and have learned how to repair my own M’s with them. Thank you for all you’ve done. You’re the king of info for all of us here.
