    My car died 320i e46 auto!

    Hey all

    I've been driving last night home when my car just died. I started up engine but idling was very rough then died again and again. Today I plugged car into computer and got error: "EWS code implausible"
    Car was running fine then just stopped work.
    Any idea what is the problem. If fuel pump is gone, should I then get any error. I'm using PA Soft 1.4.

    I rang mobile mechanic in tallaght and he solved the problem. Fuel pump end its life. So brand new pump fitted 2 days ago. Since then I've done about 150km and today car died again. Cranking again and sometime engine starts up then die immediately. The fuel pump is working for sure. I've also checked fuel went beside injectors.

    Sounds like a cam sensor, did he read the codes?
