P1343 Combinations P1343 or 1343 report a misfire with a fuel cutoff recorded in the operation of the first engine cylinder. If one of the sensors is faulty, then with such a problem, the Check icons or exclamation mark in a circle are lit on the dashboard.

P1347 Misfire in the third cylinder of the power unit

P1349 Misfire recorded in the fourth cylinder of the power unit

P1351 Misfire of the air-fuel mixture in the fifth cylinder of the engine with fuel cut-off.

Reasons that could lead to this problem:

- No spark on the spark plug. Such a problem may occur as a result of wear of the device, contamination of the electrode or its malfunction. Also, the absence of a spark appears when the switchgear fails or the armored wire connected to the candle is damaged. The cover on the distributor could crack, causing moisture to enter.

- Lack of fuel in the combustible mixture. This problem manifests itself as a result of clogging or failure of the nozzle. The reason may be insufficient fuel pressure, which is associated with a clogged filter or a failure of the pressure sensor. The latter could wear out and leak.

- The problem may be a breakdown of the exhaust valve or damage to the gasket located in the cylinder head. This leads to a decrease in the level of compression as a result of leakage of fuel or its non-combustion.

P1353 This code on BMW E38, 4X4 and other versions means turning off the sixth cylinder of the power unit and interrupting the supply of fuel. The problem is the misfire of the air-fuel mixture with the fuel cut-off.

Reasons that could lead to this malfunction:

- damage or breakage of wiring;

- reduced fuel level in the tank;

- malfunction of the fuel system;

- ignition problems - candles, high-voltage wires, switch, coils;

- lack of tightness in the intake system;

- mechanical malfunctions in the engine.

P3264 Literal translation of error code P3264 - "small ratio of calculated and measured air mass." First of all, it is necessary to check the operation of the mass air flow sensor and clean it if necessary. If this does not help, the device changes.
