Valve stem oil seals
The purpose of the valve stem oil seal is to prevent excess oil
from entering the combustion chamber. The sign of faulty
valve stem oil seals is excessive oil consumption and smoke
from the exhaust immediately after starting and during decel-
eration.
NOTE-
Valve stem oil seals should not be reused. If valves are re-
moved, new valve stem oil seals should be installed.
Valve stem oil seal replacement requires that the cylinder
head be disassembled and the valves removed as described
above under Valves, removing and installing.
NOTE-
BMW special tools are available to remove the valve stem oil
seals. As an alternative, standard valve seal removal tools
are available from most automotive parts stores.
Lubricate new seal and install using hand pressure only. Be
sure to install valve spring
seat(s) before installing seal.

Mass air flow (MAF) sensor,
checking and replacing
4 The hot film mass air flow (MAF) sensor (arrow) sends a
varying voltage (approx.
0.5 - 4.5 vdc) to the ECM represent-
ing the measured intake air. The air mass input signal is pro-
duced electronically by the
MAFsensorusing a heated metal
film in the air flow stream.
The ECM relay provides the operating voltage to the MAF
sensor. As air flows through the MAF sensor, the film is
-
cooled. To maintain the film at a constant temperature, addi-
tional heating current is necessary. It is this additional current
that is the basis for the input signal.
If there is no output signal from the MAF sensor, the ECM op-
erates the engine using throttle position and engine rpm in-
puts. A faulty MAF sensor illuminates the MIL.
A faulty MAF sensor can produce the following problems:
Difficult to restart when engine is hot.
Engine starts then stalls.
Engine starts and runs only with accelerator pedal de-
pressed.
Disconnect electrical harness connector from MAF sensor
(arrow).
- Turn ignition on and check for voltage and ground at connec-
tor.
There should be ground at pin
1 and battery voltage at pin
3.
If any faults are found, check for wiring breaks between
MAF sensor and ECM and between MAF sensor and ECM
relay.
NOTE-
Visually inspect the sensor for damage, missing or blocked
screens. The screens affect air flow calibration. Also inspect
the sealing O-rings where the sensor inserts into the air
filter
housing and intake boot. Ensure the pin connections are
clean and tight.
4 Connect a BMW-compatible scan tool or an OBD II generic
scan tool. Check air mass signal (load signal) with the engine
at idle. Raise idle speed and check that load signal changes
with rpm.

MS 42.0 throttle valve assembly, replacing
< The motor driven throttle valve for the MS 42.0 system is re-
- ferred to as MDK (motor driven throttle valve). The MDK unit
is electronically operated to regulate intake air flow by the
ECM.
The
MS 42.0 system uses a throttle cable from the accelera-
tor pedal to the MDK unit. The throttle cable is connected di-
rectly to the integral pedal position sensor
(PWG) in the MDK
unit. This sensor communicates pedal position to the ECM,
which in turn electronically regulates throttle plate position.
The MDK pulley is linked to the throttle shaft by springs to al-
low ASC intervention to override the driver's pedal position.
NO TE -
The MDIC unit is non-adjustable and must be replaced as
a complete unit if found to be faulty.
if replacing the
MDK unit, the adaptation values stored in
the ECM must be clearedand the new unit initialized using
BMW special service tools.

The electronic throttle valve assembly forthe MS43.0 system
is referred to as
EDK (electronic throttle valve). There is no
mechanical (cable) link between the accelerator pedal and
the throttle plate.
< The accelerator pedal module (PWG) at the pedal assembly
communicates the pedal position directly to the ECM. The
module provides two variable voltage signals (via two Hail
sensors) to the ECM for pedal position and rate of movement.
NOTE-
The EDK unit is non-adjustable and must be replaced as a
complete unit if found to be faulty

Throttle cable, adjusting
(MS 42.0)
The throttle assembly on MS 42.0 cars uses a throttle cable.
The cable should be adjusted any time it is disconnected or
replaced. This procedure requires the factory scan tool or an
equivalent to read and adjust throttle angle. It is recommend-
ed the procedure be done by an authorized
BMW dealer ser-
vice department
Basic adjustment:
Ensure that at idle (accelerator pedal in rest position) throt-
tle cable has detectable play at throttle lever attaching
point. Play must not exceed maximum allowable.
Adjust by turning knurled adjuster
(arrow) on end of throt-
tle cable sheath at throttle housing.
NOTE-
Faulty throttle adjustment values must be reset using the
BMW service tester
DISplus, MoDiC, GTI or equivalent.

ldle speed control valve,
checking and replacing
3 mm (0.125 in)
The Idle speed control valve regulates Idle speed by red~rect-
ing air around the throttle valve. The ldle speed control valve
is mounted
d~rectly above the throttle housing. Accessing the
valve is best accomplished by
flrst removing the air fllter
housing and associated ducting.
Thevalve is supplied with batteryvoltage from the ECM relay.
The idle speed control valve incorporates a two-coil rotary ac-
tuator. The ground sides of each coil are pulsed simulta-
neously by the ECM. The duty cycle of each circuit is varied to
achieve the required idle speed.
A faulty idle speed control valve sets a fault code and the MIL
is illuminated when
OED II fault criteria are exceeded.
Before checking the idle speed control valve, confirm that the
throttle position sensor is working correctly.
- With engine running, check that idle speed control valve is
buzzing.
- Turn on AIC system or shift transmission into drive. ldle
should remain steady or increase slightly.
- If idle speed valve is not buzzing, or if idle decreases when
AIC is turned on, stop engine and disconnect harness con-
nector from idle speed valve.

Fuel Injection Evaporative fuel system pressure leak
diagnosis, overview
(M5.2.1 only)
1998 540i models are equipped with an evaporative fuel sys-
tem pressure leak diagnosis system. The main component of
this system is the leak diagnosis pump (LDP). The function of
the LDP is to pressurize the fuel tank and the evaporative
emission system for the purpose of detecting
leaks. This sys-
tem is capable of detecting a leak as small as 0.5 mm.
The LDP, located in the left rear wheel housing, is a unitized
component that contains the following:
Vacuum chamber. Pneumatic pump chamber.
DME activated vacuum solenoid
Reed switch (provides switched voltage
feedback signal to
ECM).
The vacuum supply line is in the wiring harness from the en-
gine compartment and runs down the driver's side of the vehi-
cle.
The canister vent valve is integrated into the LDP, which is
electrically controlled by the ECM. The canister vent valve is
opened to provide fresh air entry into the fuel system only dur-
ing purge operation.
- Purge operation characteristics:
Off idle through full throttle: purge valve opened by pulse
width modulated (PWM) control of the ECM. PWM duty cy-
cle varies by engine operating conditions
(e.g. warm idle,
purge valve opened slightly; cold
idleldecel with engine
temp
< 67" C, purge valve always closed).

4 The M62 TU engine uses a continuously variable VANOS
system at each intake camshaft. This system enhances en-
gine performance and reduces tailpipe emissions. Both cam-
shafts are adjusted simultaneously within
20" (maximum) of
the camshafts rotational axis. This equates to a maximum
span of
40°crankshaft rotation.

NOTE-
The fuel filter is available as a replacement part without the
fuel pressure regulator. When replacing the fuel filter, trans-
fer the fuel pressure regulator from the old
filter to the new fil-
ter.
Engine idle speed control is a function of the EDK. The M62
TU engine does not use a separate idle control valve.

< The M62 TU engine uses an electrically controlled throttle
valve called EDK. The throttle plate is positioned by a DC
gear reduction motor based on inputs signals to the ECM
from the pedal position sensor (PWG).
When the accelerator pedal is moved, the PWG provides a
change in the monitored signals. The ME
7.2 control module
compares the input signal to a programmed map and appro-
priately activates the EDK motor via proportional pulse width
modulated control signals. The control module self-checks its
activation of the EDK motor via the EDK feedbaclc

eters.
