It would help too, if you provided any symptoms you are seeing besides the check engine light.

Things to consider based purely on your codes:
- Pull connection to MAF/IAT and see if it runs ok. Tho if you're on IAT (probably) then its more map based anyway...so less chance that it helps. Also clean your intake filter and check for leaks.
- Ecentric Shaft Sensor - see if there is oil in there by pulling the hose towards the front of the valve cover and looking into the sensor prongs for collected oil
- Valvetronic actuator or CPS. Can try relearning. CPS could need replacing.
- Vanos valves (two of them) in front of the engine...check for debris; clean off with brake cleaner and dry.

Again, I don't know enough about the 318 to really speak fully intelligently about it, but those might be places to start.


Thank you !
318i is N46 , is like 320i with less power , only 129 cp .
When check engine light is on , only symtom is i dont have good acceleration . Is powerless .
- i have check filters , valvetronic actuator ( and is good , no short circuit), no leaks.
- there is no oil in the socket (at excentric shaft sensor )
- i will clean the vanos valve .

What is CPS ?
