I can't really tell you why, but my first thought is Crankshaft position sensor. It's just ringing a bell with me, I'm sure I had a warmstart issue cured by CPS. Also the CPS wasn't throwing up a fault code.

What if you leave the ign on for 5 seconds before starting? This will return the fuel in the rail back to tank and replenish with cold?

just been looking on the internet about the camshaft position sensor but most things i have read say that there should be some error codes stored. |

Tried waiting 5-10 seconds for the fuel lines to fill didn't solve anything, I will record a video of the issue so you can see what it does.

I would say it's a CPS fault |

Again, I'm struggling to remember, but I think there are two sensors, one will throw up a fault, the other not always. But I'm pretty sure that this will be your answer. Check out this link: http://meeknet.co.uk/e38/BMW_E38_Case_Study_Fails_To_Start.htm It's a very useful site, different car, same engine, many shared components, and Tim really knows his stuff! Have a look at the bottom of that page, where he refers to the CPS when it's not flooded engine problem. If you have a look on the main page at meeknet.co.uk/e38 you'll find tabs for crankshaft sensor replacement, and camshaft sensor replacement, probably won't be completely accurate compared to the L322 version of the M62, but maybe close enough. Range Rover-less at the moment - Pining! |

heres the video of an example of the starting issue, it struggled a little in the video but it has been much worse than this in over the last few days.

Another avenue I would investigate is the coolant temperature sensor, the idea of the sensor being that when the car is actually starting from cold the sensor senses this and tells the ecu to provide additional fuel (basically like the old choke system).

i think it may be the maf sensor ...you could try cleaning the maf so that you could at least rule it out "RANGEISM WILL NOT BE TOLERATED"

A faulty MAf causes rough running but doesn't cause it not to start |

Just a thought as I had the same issue a couple of years back --- I would check the Fuel Pump ! |

does any one know a way of testing the fuel pump to make sure that it is this that is causing the issue? - just looked at the price and they are VERY expensive - although i could use a modified X5 part if the worse comes to the worse.
