Release injector locking clips at each injector and pry injector
wiring duct up off injectors.
Clamp off fuel supply line and fuel return line at end of fuel
rail. Disconnect fuel supply fuel return lines from fuel rail.
WARNING -
Clamp off the fuel lines and then wrap a clean shop towel
around the lines before removing them. Residual
fuelpres-
sure is present in the lines.
Fuel is discharged. Do not disconnect any wires that
could cause electrical
sparks. Do not smoke or work
near heaters or other fire hazards. Keep an approved
I fire extinguisher handy. I
- Remove fuel rail mounting fasteners
- Pull up on fuel rail and remove individual injectors by remov-
ing injector retaining clip and pulling injector from rail.
- Installation is reverse of removal. Fit new O-rings when in-
stalling injectors. For ease of installation, lightly lubricate in-
jector O-ring with
SAE9O gear lube.

Evaporative emissions, overview
On E39 MS 41 .I cars, the evaporative emissions system is
combined with the tank ventilation system. The evaporative
system is monitored by the ECM for correct purge operation
and leak detection.
The carbon (purge) canister is purged using engine vacuum
via the
purgevalve.The purgevalve (located nextto the mass
airflow sensor) is ECM controlled and regulates the purge
flow into the intake manifold. The valve is powered open and
closed by an internal spring.
If the evaporative emission valve circuit is faulty, a fault code
is set and the MIL is illuminated when OBD
II fault criteria are
exceeded. If the valve is mechanically faulty, poor driveability
may result and a mixture adaptation fault is stored in the
ECM.
The leak diagnosis pump (LDP) is activated by the ECM and
pressurizes the fuel tank and evaporative system as apart of
theOED I1 leakdetection monitor. If the LDP orthe LDP circuit
is defective, afault code is set and the MIL is illuminated when
OBD
I1 fault criteria are exceeded. The LDP is mounted the
left rear wheel well behind the fender liner.

When system faults are detected, a diagnostic trouble code
(DTC) is stored in the engine control module (ECM). The MIL
also illuminates
if an emissions-related fault is detected.
When faults arise, or
if the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is
illuminated, begin troubleshooting by connecting BMW ser-
vice tester
DISplus, MoDiC, GTI or equivalent scan tool. The
capabilities of OBD
II software has the potential to save hours
of diagnostic time and to help avoid incorrect component re-
placement and possible damage to system components.
CAUTION-
* The tests in this section may set fault codes (DTCs) in tlie
ECM and illuminate the MIL. After all testing is completed,
access and clear DTC fault
memory using an OBD I/ or
BMW compatible scan tool. See
OBD On-Board Diag-
nostics.
Only use a
dgital multimeter for electrical tests.
Relay positions can vary. Be sure to confirm
relayposi-
tion by identifying the wiring in the socket using the wir-
ing diagrams found in
ELE Electrical Wiring
Diagrams.
NOTE-
- OBD I1 fault memory. (including an illuminated MIL! can
only be reset using the special scan tool. Removing the
connector from the ECM or disconnecting the battery will
not erase the fault memory.

I Radiator and Cooling System
Combustion chamber leak test
- If you suspect that combustion chamber pressure is leaking
into the cooling system past the cylinder head gasket, use an
exhaust gas analyzer to test the vapors rising from the cool-
ant at the expansion tank.
CAUTIO&
Use an extension tube above the reservoir neclc to main-
tain distance between the top of the coolant and the gas
analyzer
nozzle. The gas analyzer is easily damaged if it is
allowed to inhale liquid coolant.
* While running engine to checlc for causes of overheat-
ing, observe coolant temperature carefully in order to
avoid engine damage.
Thermostat
If the engine overheats or runs too cool and no other cooling
system tests indicate trouble, the thermostat may be faulty.

mon tored by [he OBD II diagnostlc software The fault may ic
in the DME software or hardware, or it may lie in the wiring to
the thermostat. See

Coolant, draining and filling
(6-cylinder models)
WARNING -
Allow the cooling system to cool before opening or draining
the cooling system.
- Raise front of car and support safely.
WARNING -
Make sure the car is stable and well supported at all times.
Use a professional automotive lift
orjack stands designed for
the purpose. A floor jack is not adequate support.
- Remove splash shield from under engine.

< Remove left side interior ventilation microfilter housing:
Remove upper cover and microfilter loclting clip
(A).
Release locking clamp (B), and rotate air tube in direction
of arrow to remove.
Disconnect wiring harness from hood switch
(C).
Release filter body mounting clamp (D) and remove lower
microfilter housing.
- Top off bralte fluid in reservoir and connect BMW Service
Tester to
20 pin Data Link Connector (DLC) under hood or 16
pin
DLCIOBD I1 connector under dash.
- Call up service function Bleeding ABS / ASC or service func-
tion Bleeding ABS
/ DSC, depending on installed system.
- Fill pressure bleeding device with the correct brake fluid and
connect to brake fluid reservoir and apply pressurize.
Do not exceed a pressure of
2 bar (29 psi) when pressure
bleeding the
brake system. Excessive pressure will damage
4 Starting at right rear wheel, connect bleed hose and fluid re-
ceptacle to bleeder screw (arrow).
CA UTlON-
