E63 rough idle, p0017,p0300,p0301,p0302,p0303,p0304

parked the car and next start came on with very rough idle and flashing check engine light...

have changed all four intake and exhaust camshaft sensors..

swapped a new coil from cyl1 to cyl2 no change, due to weather here tomm will swap all four coils to the other side and vice versa, but i dont think its the coils...

71k miles currently, car has purred the past 6yrs ive owned it since 34k miles, always maintained

just tried to see a difference with maf sensor unplugged, still rough idle and a maf sensor code so maf sensor is not the culprit

Maybe o2 sensor, timing problem (Camshaft adjusters), or a leaking intake manifold gasket. If the gasket is the cause, don't forget to replace the PCV at the same time.
Good luck

thanks for the input, thats my next move is swapping the primary o2's, will update when i get to it... tooo cold today id end up stripping a thread and having to buy a new o2

hoping its not a stuck solenoid in the adjusters.. and def not hoping its a gasket, but would be nice to refresh that area along with pcv since she is old at 71k miles now

Out of curiosity, I'm assuming you've checked the coolant reservoir (and was terrified in doing so) to verify all is well on that front?

turns out to be a stuck cam adjuster solenoid on the affected passenger side bank

dealer forced the solenoid to actuate with star, and continues to run fine now, back to normal... no parts replacement

so after they told it to move using STAR, it is no longer sticking? if so that's good to hear.

yeah basically, i suggested replacing the adjuster solenoids ($600 parts and labor), but was advised that would be a waste of money...

been driving her all day, runs like nothing ever happened

its time to invest in Star for myself

Seems like the season for this problem!

Just had a similar experience, but turned out to be the #6 coil pack causing all the problems.

Damn terrible feeling when it starts doing this - visions of expensive problems right away!
