My car has been hesitating under acceleration at random times. If it stutters bad enough it would throw the engine warning light and 2 others as seen in the video. Timing chain has been replaced about 2 weeks ago. Last few days has been difficult to start. It ticks over fine just won’t start. Thought of maybe a faulty ABS sensor but no light showing as when I was going round a tight bend sometimes it throws the warning lights off and goes into limp mode. Can’t go over 3k rpm Any thoughts? MAF sensor maybe?

did it do this before the timing chain was replaced? 
if not, I would look at the cam sensor and make sure the timing is correct.

 

also with checking the fuel pump. 
 

what car and engine is it??

Welcome to the Forum

Plus 1 for Stu's comments above in addition who changed the timing chain ? I would be talking to them as they haven't finished the job? Unless of course it was DIY then back track carefully making sure all connections are correct engine earth not disturbed sensors seated properly etc.

P.S Stu his car is a 3 series touring 318i petrol N46
