2000 E46 BMW 330i choking?
l,ve got a 2000 e46 330i that recently had its engine done, the car was running smoothly until it started jerking and loosing power, and choking when l accelarate, l did a small test on the tail pipes pipes by putting in a small piece of plastic and it was sucked in after a couple of seconds(60) but when l closed the other pipe the plastic was blown out. l chked the petrol pump it sounded good, the coils and the plugs are fairly new and they seemed fine. plizz helppppppp!!!!!!

Easiest way to find out is to get a proper diagnostic

Indeed...

This is a "how long is a piece of string" question, diagnostics will guide you.

l hve done the diagnostics and a couple of codes came up, l replaced the camshaft sensors both inlet and exhaust, replaced the airflow meter with a new pirate one, put in a temp sensor,coolant sensor ,removed the cone filter and replaced with original. Could it be this pirate airflow thats giving me all these problems????

 

[zaleonardz]

Well... what codes are you getting after you had all of the above done, did you get any of the old codes back, or did you get new codes ?

The easiest way to check is to unplug the MAF, and it will default to a map.

Could be O2 sensors as well,..

I think chances are better that it is dead CATs rather than O2. O2 sensors should not adjust enough to cause noticable choking.

It could also be faulty VANOS. What codes are currently present?

Vanosh.....
