[QUOTE="mgu, post: 694159, member: 41546"] Thanks aidilj for the post! [B][U]On 318i N42 with automatic transmission I would not attempt to drive the car[/U][/B] with the eccentric shaft sensor unplugged. Reason (I think): The gearbox does not get the correct torque information via the CAN bus and doesn't shift gears properly. At standstill it is probably ok to do the test, but I would not drive. I did the test to eliminate a possible Valvetronic problem causing my rough idle. Engine behaved the same with the sensor disconnected, therefore my issue must be elsewhere. I've no reason to doubt Valvetronic gets disabled when you unplug the sensor, right? [/QUOTE]
