Hello- My BMW will sporadically die. It seems to be temperature related because if left to cool, it will restart. We have replaced the crankshaft sensor and the crankshaft dampening wheel. The error code points to the crankshaft sensor, but because this car is older, it is probably not accurate. Please advise as to what sensors you recommend I should replace. Thanks, Mike

How about cleaning the idle control valve and be sure it is working. And the throttle plate too. Look for vacuum leaks while you are in there.
