The Evolution of My First Chapter14
December 15, 2013 by Ifeoma Dennis
I think this merits a post simply because I've written my first chapter about thirty times. Or forty. Or sixty. I'm sure they'd make a YA novel when compiled together, since most of them run between 2K-3k words.
Today, yes today, after re-writing my first chapter AGAIN, something I never thought I'd do again (because hello, it's my second draft and I've rewritten this sucker ten million times already), I decided to post on the breakdown of my chapters and why they weren't working.
I went through some of my first chapters right from the very beginning (February, 2013). I won't bore you with all the minute details of every first chapter I've written, just the broad view. Since some of them were alliterations of their predecessor.
Usually, it was their first pages that plagued me, but the disease already seeped in to ruin the rest of the chapter since they follow the events on the first page.
Here we go:
1st ever try:
MC is at dinner with other characters, and the supporting character/LI is looking at her. (Oh hey I also found what they looked like just last night and pinned them here). This opening didn't work for me because it was in first person present and I didn't feel the POV was working for this novel. I'd written my first novel (December 2012) in first person present.
2nd try:
Same scene but close 3rd POV. Didn't work because oh, many characters! And the decision they made at the table which was supposed to lead to inciting incident didn't sit right with me. Took me a few more tries to discover this had to be changed, and a MAJOR plot overhaul needed to happen to make it possible.
3rd try:
Revamped plot. MC is now in a bus and sees something odd. Scraped it, bus openings were cliché. But of course, didn't realize this until I'd tried different versions of what happens in the bus. Matter of fact, I think it was my first CP, Stephanie that pointed out nothing was happening.
4th try:
MC is now running, trying to catch up with a friend that was acting odd. Also didn't realize how cliché this was until I'd written it in different versions. Versions like:
- The bus stops, MC leaves to follow odd-acting friend and find what's wrong, her other friends call her back.
- Bus is parked, and MC is running after her friend. Her friends don't even notice she's gone.
- MC has caught up with her friend and now they're staring at a mad man across the road. ETC ETC.
5th try:
MC and odd-acting friend PLUS LI/Supporting character are standing on a deserted street. Mad man goes in and blows up a house. This one had many versions than I can possibly count. SCRAPED it because a baby died and it was my MC connecting to the baby that drove the plot. I wasn't comfortable with it. I did talk about it here.
6th try:
Took my three opening-page characters off the street and back to the sitting room. Then they go to the street where a couple dies. Felt a bit slow.
7th try:
Opens straight in the street where the couple shoot themselves, instead of starting in the sitting room. Tried to have this one work but again, Stephanie said she wasn't connecting with the emotions inspiring the inciting incident.
8th try:
Reworked street scene to try to show more emotions on the part of MC. Yael said it was too info-dumpey. I agreed. So I dumped the whole scene instead.
9th try:
Finished first draft. Let it sit for a while, then a major plot overhaul happened. Like MAJOR. Moved the inciting incident totally from the first universe to the second universe. This time around, it started with a prologue. Or a sort of prologue. MY MC's mom was seeing her off. Cat liked it, but I had a problem with it being a prologue. Also, it felt like her mom was piling up the rules for her (and hence, the reader).
10th try:
Started more in media res, this time my characters are playing a sort of game in the sitting room. Cat loved this so much even more than the 9th, and Yael did too (but she had issues with the particular game they were playing). So I scraped it after I realized working on it only made it get worse.
11th major try:
MC and friends are in the forest. I didn't realize how common this opening was. Scraped again. Showed no one.
12th try:
MC and friends moved back to the terrace where something odd happens. Scraped it TODAY after holding on to it since the start of Nano. There are just too many characters (five!) and I felt I was trying to load too much information on the reader just so they could get the stakes. Spike read this, said it wasn't info-dumpey but said I had a problem with REPETITION.
Worked on that, but after the muse for tying up plot ends struck me last week, I realized the reason for having five characters in the scene was no longer necessary. I'd try to intersperse them within the first three chapters, and hopefully the message would come across.
13th try (today):
MC and original odd-acting friend are out when something happens. I know. This might change again. We'll see how this works. Keep your fingers crossed for me. Like seriously.
How many times have you written your first chapter? Why weren't they working for you? Did you struggle with clichés?

I've only written my first chapter once, but I did go back and add a prologue after my sister said I needed to foreshadow the inciting event in chapter 1. But I really REALLY don't like my first chapter, and I don't like the fact that its relying on a prologue. I feel like there's too much exposition. It takes eight pages or so for the story to get even remotely interesting, and I'm afraid my readers will drop the book by that point. But I've had four people (yourself included) who have read it and say that it's fine the way it stands, so I'm not sure if I should just leave it alone.
I LOVE this post Ify. Your process of trying to write your first chapter sounds like the exact kind of insanity all of us writers deal with, but never want to admit.
I can so relate to this — thank you for sharing it!!
For one of my MSs, the opening scene has remained the same since I started writing it over 6 years ago: in a bar before the MC's boyfriend's band performs a song dedicated to her. It fits the story and it's just when things start to kick off, plot-wise. But man oh man, since this was my first MS ever, I saved it each time in Scrivener that I made any changes. I had over 50 saved versions. Sometimes tweaks were small, sometimes the entire thing was rewritten from scratch.
I'm finally happy with it now, but I am *so* there with you. For me, it was that first and second paragraph. I spent so long thinking the only way to introduce the character's dilemma was to have her internalising her thoughts about her current situation. I did this in every cutesy, cliche way possible, but then when I stopped berating myself, I realised I *could* be in her head from the start, but I needed her to be thinking about *right now*, not what happened last March or 3 years ago. Sometimes, though, these lessons mean more when they go the scenic route 😉 Good luck with this, I'm SURE you'll nail it!! 🙂
Wow, you're not kidding! I can't believe you remember all that! Although, I'm sure I might if it were me. Lol! You can do this, I know you can.
I usually can't start a story until I have the right opening. Sometimes I run them by my brother. Lol! And I will literally obsess about it for close to a week until I have something I think will work. And then I have to plot out the next few chapters to make sure it's the right decision. I read somewhere once that it's best to start in the middle of the story. Not literally I guess, but just the furthest in you can get without people being lost. My current opening is one of the best I've ever had. I start the night stuff falls apart for my MC, which takes place 3 months before the rest of the story, so I skip time, but it sets everything up, and I got really good feedback on it. Now I just need to not ruin the rest of it!
Pinterest is awesome, isn't it! ^_^
The opening can be the hardest part to get right. I always spend more time editing the first couple of chapters than any other part of the book! But strangely, I don't usually change the location or scenario – I think it's because I can't actually start writing until I've pinned down whereabouts it has to start. In fact, having that opening scene clear in my head was what gave me the clue that I should starting this WIP! I don't think I could have done it without it. I'm still not sure I've got it right, though!

Wisconsin slipped to below .500 with a tough 66-46 road loss to Iowa Sunday. The Badgers are 0-3 in conference road games, with a 20-point average margin of defeat.
Wisconsin (7-8 overall, 1-4 Big Ten) struggled from the get-go, sinking only one of its first 15 field goal attempts and taking more than eight minutes to score. Iowa (9-7, 3-2) took advantage of the Wisconsin drought and opened the game with a 10-0 lead.
The Badgers finally cracked the scoreboard when senior center Lello Gebisa converted a layup at 11:42, but continued to struggle offensively throughout the contest, shooting just 27 percent.
Turnovers also plagued the team, as Wisconsin racked up 21, including several during Iowa's 10-0 and 14-6 runs. The Badgers had more turnovers than field goals (18).
"When you're on the road you need the right mentality; you have to have an edge," said Wisconsin coach Lisa Stone. "I'm not going to make excuses. Our team has got to work harder, and we need more of a work ethic, and more a mental edge on the road. I am not saying it's any easier at home, but it's real difficult on the road."
Iowa continued to dominate, going on an 8-2 run early in the second half to drive out to a 40-20 lead. Although guard Ashley Josephson had three straight unanswered baskets for seven points, bringing the score to 40-27, Wisconsin could get no closer than a 13-point deficit.
Iowa forward Jennie Lillis had a game-leading 21 points while teammate center Jamie Cavey had 14. For Wisconsin, Rich had a team-high 14 points and nine rebounds while Gebisa and Josephson had nine points each. Forward Kjersten Bakke, in her first start, had seven of Wisconsin's 48 rebounds.
"We did not get good performances out of our starting lineup – outside of (Kjersten) Bakke, who gave us great energy. We're missing some key ingredients, and we have a little ways to go." Stone said. "We have to be ready now and develop more of a mentality on the road and more of an edge. We've proven that we can play with the Boston Colleges, the Notre Dames, and the Penn States, but then we can look like this. We have to find some consistency in our performance. I don't want this to happen any more."

Jeff Koons
The definitive work on the most controversial artist of his generation: see the exhibition in Berlin and remember why you've always loved Koons, even though you'd love to hate him he's not only richer, but better looking. Then plunge into this Taschen _berwerk and revel in the kinky and kitsch, but always conceptual art of Jeff Koons. Basketballs in tanks! Stainless steel blow-ups! Topiary dog sculptures! Michael and Bubbles in porcelain. No artist since Warhol has made the banal appear so profound, and the trivial carry such import.
Includes a biographical essay, analyis of Koons from a European perspective, and a scholarly study of his work. With hundreds of large format full color images, it traces Koons' career from 1979 to today. A sumptuous objet d'art he says so himself and the definitive overview of Koons' work.

~Mysti Versonia~
Age: 16
Race: Half-Elf
Orientation: Straight
Likes: Nature, animals, the color blue, spring, fall, art, reading
Dislikes: Rude/mean people, people who judge her for what she looks like
Traits: Quiet, earthly, shy, artistic
Bio: Mysti was raised in the forest, being loved by the plants an animals around her. She was never one for social interaction, so she mostly stayed with her forest creatures. She one day wandered astray, and ended up inside of a small cage in the slave industries. She has recently found that she has the ability to conjure or control plants and water, and possibly air, if desired. She used her new found powers to escape the slavers, and now wanders the world, hoping for someone to comfort her.
~Camilla Hill~
Age: 12
Race: Human
Likes: The cold, water, swimming, games (especially her own)
Dislikes: Loud music, too much work, crying
Traits: Sensitive, sweet, caring
Bio: Camilla was raised in her own family, with a normal household rule, "Do onto others, as you wish others to do onto you". A fairly simple rule, that she of course still abides by to this day. She could easily be described as shy by those who do not know her, and they will soon find that she is nowhere near that at all. She enjoys playing games, especially on e of her own, Mow, which she cannot explain to the players and they must figure out the rules of the game on their own. A fun and easy game, for those that know the rules. She is very senstitive, and may tear up at any hint of being rude to her, but she is somewhat tough, just from being able to take care of herself in the markets.
~Avery Clavel~
Age: 19
Orientation: Bisexual
Likes: Water, music, being alone, writing
Dislikes: Anyone trying to invade her personal space
Personality: Isolated, calm, serious, can be strict or rude, if needed.
Bio: A young girl who was born the life of the party, being as happy as anyone could ever be. Then she became a slave. All of the thrills of the party just melted off, showing her soft side. No more parties, no more music, no more Avery Clavel. At least, not the way she used to be. In order to keep her in line, the guards must keep her away from any form of music, including her own singing, so they duct tape her mouth, not letting her get out of hand. Instead of listening to music, as she would like to, she writes about anything and everything that she can. Not just what has happened to her, but what she immagines what might happen outside of her little prison.
~Sylvia Everheart~
Age: Over 12,000 (looks around 17)
Race: Neo-Vampire
Likes: The color red, violin, piano, roses
Dislikes: Blood
Personality: Harsh, demonic, stubborn
Bio: ?


text: So happy I purchased the Line 6 49 key midi controller. The set up has blown my mind - Garageband - tick. Sibelius (with no hassle...no hassle. Previous continuous issues with my Roland). Plus velocity curve options - key feel. My only question is - do they sell gig bags? I'm not sure my sewing schools are up to it! Very Very happy.

Program Notes
By John Taylor Ward
Perhaps no other opera composer of the 20 th century developed a more personal and individual style than Benjamin Britten. The influences of his time are clearly audible – luscious romanticism from his compatriot, Vaughan Williams, the interest in folk music that abounded in Europe at the time, and even the atonal experiments of Schoenberg. All of these soundscapes can be heard in Britten's music, but the disparate elements are brought together in a remarkable eclecticism that makes his music unmistakable.
In 1959, when he began to compose A Midsummer Night's Dream, Britten was already an accomplished operatic composer, with commercial and critical successes like Peter Grimes, Billy Budd, and The Turn of the Screw under his belt. A Midsummer Night's Dream was premiered in June of 1960 to celebrate the refurbishing of the theater at Aldeburgh, where Britten hosted his annual summer music festival. However, it was a last minute decision on Britten's part to compose a new opera for the reopening of the hall, and he chose Shakespeare's work as its basis because he believed the text would not require much re-working to make an effective libretto. Britten and his romantic partner, the tenor Peter Pears (who originated the role of Flute), adapted the play in a matter of weeks, and the project went from conception to completion in under a year.
Shakespeare's drama relies on the stratification of three different groups of characters – the fairies, the royalty, and the rustic group of amateur thespians. Perhaps Britten's greatest triumph in A Midsummer Night's Dream is his musical characterization of the three groups' strata; the music of the fairies is truly otherworldly, with pitched percussion and magically mercurial changes in timbre and style; the "rustics" are accompanied by low strings and woodwinds, with folk-inspired melodies; and the royalty lies somewhere in-between. Another inventive turn in Britten's Midsummer is the use of the countertenor voice in the role of Oberon. Countertenors, who sing in the traditionally female range, had not been seen on the operatic stage since the castratos of the renaissance and baroque period, but Britten found, in this role of a fairy king, the perfect opportunity to resurrect a lost vocal technique and to thrust its enchanting, challenging beauty onto the laps of a twentieth century audience. In a famous, if apocryphal, anecdote, Alfred Deller, the countertenor who originated the role of Oberon, was once asked by a German fan: "you are a eunuch, Herr Deller?" He responded, "I'm sure you mean unique, madam."

New Year, a few new features. My student loan and wages get frittered on clothes, shoes and alcohol (if I'm lucky it even goes on food). I've had emails in the past asking me what I've bought recently, and I needed a new feature idea, so here we are. And now you can all see what I (waste/) spend my money on every few weeks. The amount I buy is likely to deplete nearer to the end of term, as the end of term always correlates with having no spare cash.
This week I went a bit Topshop crazy and ended up spending most of my Christmas pennies...

Happy Birthday Rufus!
The day of the Stronach Wedding had finally arrived and the sun was shining. I made my way to The Bay Tree hotel, Burford and was greeted by the gorgeous Bride and her bridesmaids.
As the day went on, I felt so much love from all their family and friends. The Groom and his groomsmen were all dressed in good old kilts and looking fantastic, even baby George had a kilt on. As the Groom stood waiting for his Bride he laughed and smiled with people until he saw her. His jaw dropped and he smiled, you could see the love radiating from him. The bride walked down the isle with her brother and he looked so proud. After the ceremony I took the new Mr&Mrs Stronach away for some pictures. They looked so much in love that it reminded me of how I felt on my Wedding day. So in love and the feel of joy of finally being married. Anyway before I tell you about the whole day in words, let me show you in pictures. Heres my favourite images from the day, enjoy! x (more…)
I do love cake smash photo shoots and they are becoming much more popular now. This time we had Ellie-Mai in for her special photoshoot. Here are my favourites from the day. (more…)

The Modified Victor was developed by Grant Morriss and Bruce Warburton of Landcare Research NZ Ltd. They developed it to provide the pest control industry with a more cost-effective and lightweight alternative to the DOC 150 and 200 traps that are set in a wooden box. These cost approximately $65 and weight around 4.5kg whereas the modified Victor with the tunnel only weighs 0.35kg, which is less than 1 tenth the weight. Also the Modified Victor costs less than one third the price.
Grant and Bruce undertook extensive tests on the trap to determine whether it passed international standards for humaness of kill traps for killing stoats and rats. They found that the modified Victor trap passed these standards when the trap was set both horizontally and vertically. Click on the following links to see the results and the scientific report. https://www.landcareresearch.co.nz/__data/assets/pdf_file/0004/57064/Grant_Morriss_low_cost_trap.pdf
After these trials Grant and Bruce sought a commercial partner to take the trap to a commercial stage where it could be manufactured and sold on a commercial scale. Pest Control Research LP undertook this task and designed plastic injection moulded parts that fit onto the Victor to achieve the same results that the prototype trap achieved in the Landcare Research trials. We designed a trigger that holds a slice of the Muselid and Cat bait (also available on this site) that is very attractive to stoats and rats.
Grant has made a video on how to use the Modified Victor and tunnel. This can be viewed in the following link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzTrQMfRDps

Getting all my medical records together has been on my To Do list for a long time. At the beginning of last year I started asking some of my doctors for copies of my records. I asked at each of my doctors for a copy of my records. In only one case were they able to give it to me right then. In a couple of cases I was referred to the larger hospital (that most of our local doctors are a part of) and told to go to them for my records. Calls didn't help. It was like trying to herd cats. I found it a tedious and difficult process and it wasn't long before I kind of gave up.
So, to say I was happy with the people at PatientBank contacted me to try their service would be an understatement. PatientBank has provided me free access to their service to try in exchange for this honest review which is brought to you by Chronic Illness Bloggers.
PatientBank is an online service that was started by a doctor to help you get access to your medical records.
At PatientBank we're building technology that makes healthcare better by giving people ownership over their medical data."
What I found with PatientBank is the easiest means possible for getting your medical records.
I literally just had to enter my doctors names (or the clinic name if I couldn't remember the doctor) and they submitted the request for me. In most cases, the records were received within just a couple of weeks. Even when they weren't received quickly, I received regular updates from PatientBank on each one of my requests.
The process is super easy, so easy I can show you.
Here's Step 1
Step 2: You simply enter your doctor's name (or the clinic name) and the state:
Step 3: Indicate whether you want your entire record (why not?) or just records from a specific date. You can also specify if you want sensitive info left out of your record (this would be details of substance abuse, pregnancy tests, mental health, etc).
Step 5: Sign the form giving permission for PatientBank to request your records.
Once you submit your order it will take a couple of weeks for it to go to the doctor and get processed. Of course, the actual amount of time it takes to get your records depends primarily on your doctors. I submitted requests for about a dozen different doctors that I've seen in the last 10 years (I kept remembering others that I'd seen for various things). The doctors that I currently see were typically quicker at getting the records back.
I did actually get a call from my eye doctor asking if this was a real request since she'd not heard of the company. I appreciated that she wanted to double check it and make sure it wasn't a fake request before she sent it out. I forwarded her concerns and comments to PatientBank as she suggested that the appearance of the request left her and her staff concerned enough to call me first. That said, she was the only one out of about a dozen doctors that expressed any concern to me.
Another plus in the column for PatientBank is that every bit of feedback I provided to them regarding my experience was met with happy acceptance. They wanted to hear what their clients were experiencing and what we think about the process, how they can improve, etc.
Once your records come in they are stored on their secure servers. You can download PDF copies and store them wherever you need to, print them, or whatever. They are yours!
The standard rate for these requests is $30 per request but they are working on a subscription model that will let you pay monthly for as many requests as you want to make.
I found PatientBank extremely easy to use and I would definitely recommend them as an easy answer to getting your medical records. I'll continue to use them to keep copies of my medical records up to date.
Now, I just need to find time to sift through this mount of data that I've been able to download. There are a few questions I have regarding what is (or may be) in those files.

Disclaimer: I own nothing, unfortunately. The boys belong to Kripke and the CW.
AN: So I got a little bored and decided to write another drabble for the challenge. Clown is still the prompt, but this one is set sort of present time when the guys are older. Let me know what you think!
"Oh come on! You weren't seriously freaked out by that thing, were you?"
Dean was not to be deterred by his brother's silence.
"You were! Dude, it wasn't even real."
"And let the teasing begin," thought Sam with an internal sigh.
"Man, I can't believe you're still afraid of those things."
"Can we just drop it already?" Came the annoyed response from the passenger's seat.
His brother's irritating laughing was the only response from the driver's side of the car.
"I'm so buying you a plane for your birthday."
The glare he got in return was definitely worth the teasing.

Black//Purple Update #005 and more OGs videos
-Remixed Rhapsody of Fire songs I made for Black//Purple
-lots of stuff (???%)
The third session has passed, and it was a very, very productive one–the party dropped eight hobgoblins in very quick succession. Details to follow as the third chapter is published.
However, Black//Purple has encountered a major hangup. One of our members might have to quit. The big problem is this character is one of the most fleshed-out characters in the group and is a major source of very interesting conflict, and it might be too much to ask for a serious enough character who can cause conflict (and character development). This is currently a major quandary that we have to solve soon. Thankfully, we're having the club fair this week and so we might have a dedicated player who can take this character's place. Hopefully.
More OGs videos
Thrudgelmir vs. Daizengar. This is one scene I've always wanted to see animated since this duel first appeared in SRW OG2.
Axel's Soulgain tears Kyosuke's Alteisen apart. Never thought it would look like this animated. Fantastic.
The SRX team tries out the Gespenst Mk II S's Ultimate Gespenst Kick. Mai tries really really hard.
Latuni and Shine performing Royal Heartbreaker in their Fairlions.
Now for something terrifying:
All of Judecca's attacks. To the uninitiated, the Judecca is one of the Balmar empire's most powerful mechs, and its theme borrows heavily off The Inferno from Dante Alighieri's Comedia Divina. After the two status missile attacks at the start of the video, we see First Hell: Caina, Second Hell:Antenora, Third Hell: Ptolemia, and finally, the epic ownage of Final Hell: Judecca. Amazing.

The Walled Lake Consolidated School District is a school district with its headquarters in the Educational Services Center in Walled Lake, Michigan in Greater Detroit.[1][2] The district has 14 elementary schools, four middle schools and three high schools and one alternative school serves over 15,000 children.
Its service area includes all or portions of cities of Farmington Hills, Novi, Orchard Lake, Walled Lake and Wixom, the townships of Commerce, West Bloomfield and White Lake, and the village of Wolverine Lake.[2]
As of 2010 it is the largest school district in Oakland County, Michigan,[3] with 15,600 students and 1,600 employees.[4]
|This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (June 2013)
In the 2000s the State of Michigan requested that the district buy land in an area in Commerce Township. At the time the state owned about 600 acres (240 ha) of land there. In February 2004 the district filed an application with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources proposing to purchase 155 acres (63 ha) of land along Wise Road in the township. In response, a land conservation group attempted to stop the efforts.[5]
In 2010 the district reported having a potential deficit of $22.7 million for the 2010-2011 school year. The district proposed a deficit reduction plan which proposed privatizing transportation and custodial services and laying off 300 district employees, including teachers.[4]

I am new here so I apologize if I am committing any faux-pas or doing anything incorrectly. I have searched this forum and a few others very thoroughly and have not found anything quite like the problem I'm having.
The car is throwing codes P2098,P2271 (bank 2) - OR - P2096 and P2270 (bank 1), seemingly depending on whatever mood the car seems to be in that day. Sometimes it also throws P0041.
The fuel trims are extremely high in both banks, averaging around 15% on one bank and 20-25% on the other. Depending on the day, bank 1 will be higher, sometimes bank 2 is higher.
The codes all indicate a problem with the post-catalyst O2 sensors, OR something upstream that is confusing the ECU when it looks at the sensors.
I have considered the following failure modes
- Bad O2 sensors - I find this unlikely because the car only has 50k miles, and its also unlikely that sensors on both banks would start having errors simultaneously. I have also used some basic OBD reading software to view the raw voltages, and the sensors appear to be behaving properly and in normal ranges based on what I've found online.
- Vacuum leak or intake leak - I have inspected all vacuum lines that are accessible without tearing the whole bay apart, and found nothing. I've done the 'starter fluid' trick on almost every vacuum connection, as well as around all gaskets I can find on the intake side, with no luck. Additionally, have viewed the vacuum sensors in Torque and I appear to be holding steady around -21 psi, which seems to be normal.
- High Pressure Fuel Pump Issue - I can directly view fuel pressure using Torque, it holds steady around 700 psi at idle and jumps up around 2000 during WOT. From everything I've read, this is normal operation.
- Exhaust Leak - have done a pretty thorough inspection and can't find anything.
- Dirty or bad Injectors - I have run some injector cleaner through the fuel to no avail. Unfortunately I don't feel super confident in removing injectors myself to inspect them.
I'm at the point where I think I've reached the limit of what I can investigate myself, and I am planning to go to the dealer. Before I did this, I figured I would ask here if anyone had any ideas that I hadn't considered. Mostly I'm scared that the dealer is going to charge me the $200 diagnostic fee and then just tell me to replace the O2 sensors because that's what their sheet says, which I really don't think are the problem.
Extra question - does anyone have any recommendations for any true BMW pros in the Los Angeles area? I am closest to the Santa Monica dealer but don't know much about anyone in the area (I just recently moved here). I really want to find someone who will do real diagnosis work instead of trying to throw parts at the problem for $$$, which is a problem I've had with dealers before.
Thank you all in advance for reading and for any help you may be able to provide!
Welcome maximillius. Sorry, I don't know anything about the N54, but since you are posting with "P" codes, I'm going to guess that you are using some flavor of generic diagnostic scanner. I'd suggest that you invest in some sort of BMW specific scanner, which will be capable of providing much more detailed information about your car.
Many here use a generic cable purchased from ebay along with a laptop and software, such as INPA. There are also several handheld alternatives. I use a "Carly" which is a wifi adapter that works in conjunction with either an android or apple device. I recently also acquired a Foxwell NT510, which has the added benefit of some coding and the capability to reset adaptations. There are many out there and they vary in what they can do, but in terms of diagnostics just pick one. BMW fault codes are much more specific and will usually point you directly to the problem.
Welcome to the forum.
+1 to Tony's advice; using an OBD code reader really isn't in your best interest. That Foxwell unit Tony has recommended looks excellent....(Tony, maybe post that link again here?)
Now, all I've got are those P-codes.....I don't trust them, but that's what we have.
So, we have both post cat sensors telling us they're running lean. And then we have both sensors telling us they're stuck lean......and, we have a code telling us that those two sensors are swapped.
So first: Does this car have a performance-related software reflash, or any other performance mods?
Second, I'd likely put the car in the air, bring up O2 sensor data , and then unplug one post-cat sensor, and make sure that the scanner's data disappears on the correct bank. (Bank 1 is cyls 1-2-3, Bank 2 is 4-5-6). If not, swap plugs on those sensors from one bank to the other, which might fix your issue, if indeed the sensors are swapped..
Third. I'd have to hook the car to ISTA-D, do a guided test plan for those codes. And then I'd maybe reflash to the newest software, using ISTA-P.....unless of course, you have a custom tune you're trying to preserve.
A HPFP issue throws codes for HPFP. Intake leaks will give you codes for several places in the airflow, prior to the post-cat sensors.

You might have to pay more than 200.00 to diagnose it, check the spark plugs if there black it could be the injectors welcome to the world of the high pressure direct injection engines
Hi all,
First off thanks for all your advice!
It's been a bit of a ride since I posted this.
First I took it to an independent mechanic who performed a smoke test (finding nothing), checked the functionality of the 02 sensors (they appear to be working and switching fine, and they were not misplaced) and reset fuel adaptations. Resetting the fuel adaptations appeared to mask the problem for awhile.
I then had my HPFP fail rather suddenly, and replaced it as well as the low pressure fuel sensor, under the extended warranty.
I then had my intake valves cleaned (they were nasty!)
HPFP replacement + intake valve cleaning had the car feeling smooth as butter. Felt like it drove a million times better than ever before.
However, shortly after returning home from intake valve cleaning - the lean codes returned! (this I think makes sense. resetting the fuel adaptations had set the 'normal' a little lower, and cleaning out the valves suddenly caused the engine to get more air, flipping the mixture lean enough to set the codes again)
Took it back to independent mechanic. Found a crack in the valve cover. Replaced valve cover, reset fuel adaptations. Like before, this masked the problem for awhile, but today the lean codes returned during a long drive back from san diego. I even experienced a little bit of sputtering at low RPM, which didn't feel great. Fuel trims still way too high to be normal.
At this point I'm super frustrated and at the point where I'm willing to just replace everything. I found a good price on a full set of fuel injectors so I just ordered those today. If that doesn't work, I'll go against my better judgement and replace all the O2 sensors as well. Failing that, the ECU...
People told me BMWs will cost a fortune in maintenance... I didn't realize how quickly I would have to learn this lesson! I'm open to any other suggestions as to what else could be wrong...

Um, just so you know, those new injectors need to be programmed into the computer, using the last digit after the part number, and a BMW ISTA computer.

Try www.bimrs.org to find a BMW shop in your area. Also, ask for shop recommendations from members of the local chapter of the BMW Car Club of America. Google "BMWCCA #####" where "#####" is your zip code.
Are you proficient with computers? Just at an OK level. Do you have a Windows laptop?
The lower end models aren't that unreliable, and if taken care of, they can be quite OK. Yours seems to have been neglected or someone was trying to dump their problems onto the next person.
Stick around and listen to the guys here, as you can get this fixed with maximum efficiency. The free help here is actually some of the best. I can help you get some basic BMW diagnostics set up, so that way you can easily run diagnostics yourself. If you have any kind of Windows laptop, it would only cost you about $20 for the cable.
Thanks all for the continued replies! I'm aware the injectors need to be coded to the vehicle. I am proficient with computers and I'm confident that I could figure out the programming with a little guidance. However the problem really is space and time. I live in an apartment complex with underground parking, and they frown on doing car maintenance down there. I get away with doing some basic bolt on stuff because I'm friendly with the ownership, but I definitely have no way to get the car up in the air or on stands.
The independent mechanic I have been seeing is a BMW/Mini specialist, and they have all the required tools and access to BMW systems.
Typically I am willing to spend the money to have a professional do the work, but I want to make sure that what they're doing makes sense to me and I'm not needlessly throwing money away (I'm an engineer, so not knowing exactly whats going on will always keep me up at night).
That would be awesome - thank you! What cable would you recommend? When I was exploring the option of setting up a diagnostic laptop the cables I was seeing were definitely more than $20, but maybe I was looking in the wrong place.I can help you get some basic BMW diagnostics set up, so that way you can easily run diagnostics yourself. If you have any kind of Windows laptop, it would only cost you about $20 for the cable.
So here's where I'm at currently. The problems could be -
A) Unmeasured air is getting into the cylinders.
- This seems unlikely because the N54 uses an absolute pressure MAP sensor right on the intake which should capture everything going into the engine, unless there is a gross leak around the intake manifold that is creating some turbulence in the manifold and not getting an accurate pressure reading
- Smoke testing has been completed on the intake side of things with no findings
B) Fuel delivery issue
- HPFP already replaced
- LPFP exonerated by dealer test plan during service
- Pressures look good at all times
- Injectors seem to be the only remaining possibility
C) Sensor issue
- O2 sensors appear to function correctly when watching voltages throughout various conditions (both WOT and idle) Also seems unlikely that they would fail at only 57k miles, and also unlikely that they would fail on both banks. Also unlikely that they would fail with only a slight offset - I would expect them to rail high or low.
- MAP sensor faulty. Like above, only 57k miles, I find this unlikely. I removed, cleaned, and replaced the existing sensor once already.
D) ECU issue
- The most unlikely thing I can think of, I would tackle this last
Based on the above I think I want to tackle the injectors next. Does that make sense to you guys? Would you approach this differently?
- - - Updated - - -
Hm, I had a second reply written up about the cable and injector coding but it looks like it didn't submit.
Short answer yes I am proficient with computers and I absolutely would welcome any advice on how to get a proper diagnostic system set up. For the injectors I would probably lean towards having a professional do the coding because I wouldn't want my first foray into programming to be something so critical!
Thank you all for your continued replies, this seems like a great community.
Coding injectors is easy. Impossible to mess up really.
You need this cable http://www.ebay.com/itm/192031744804
And this pack I put together here https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/s...xperimentation
Yes I know it's targeted for Z3, but it'll work with your car, when using E90 profile. Ignore the Z3 specific cables and use the linked one above or similar. If choosing similar, get one with green mainboard.
PM if you need specific help.
OK, you've inspired me - I bought the cable and a cheapo laptop and I'll give it a go. Awesome pack you've set up there, thanks man.
Abel's the best ! When I have BMW computer issues, he's the guy who fixes the problems for me. He's done many things with BMW computers that are supposed to be impossible, to help me, and the shop where I work.
Thank you again, Abel, for all the wisdom and generosity you share with the members here! (And me, especially)

Car has started intermittently stuttering under throttle and also has a rough idle at times. Feels kind of like misfires but not quite so violent as if a spark plug had failed.
At this point I'm getting more and more confident that injectors are my issue. I'm going to stop driving the car and wait for parts to arrive and get this done. Going to replace all spark plugs and coils while I'm at it. Will report back with results!
Thanks all for the assistance

Hi all,
Successfully got 5 injectors out. The 6th is stuck in there good. Going to purchase the special slide hammer tool before I continue.
During an attempt to install 2 new injectors I sheared off the screw that fastens the hold-down bracket. (I'm pretty much retarded. I don't know what I was thinking).
Going to attempt removing the sheared bolt with a screw extractor, but I'm going to need a replacement bolt.
Does anyone know the size or part number of that bolt so I can buy a new one? (or where I could find that information?)
Talking about piece 7 in this image
If you are careful you can use two pry bars to pry out the injectors instead of spending money on the slide hammer- but the slide hammer does come in handy.
Also- do not use the nut and hold down bracket to push the injectors down into the cylinder head- as this does not seat them all the way down and I have seen injector bores become ruined and then the engine needs a new cylinder head. Instead use a long flat head screwdriver and put it on the alignment tab (at the bottom of the injector that slides into the cylinder head) and tap it down with a hammer until the injector is seated all the way down.
As for the broken bolt I would go to the dealer and buy that specific bolt. Will only be a few bucks and it's the only thing I would trust.
From what I see it sounds like injectors though- as long as the last two numbers of your injectors were under "11" , the new injectors you get should have the last two digits as "12".
11 and 12 are good updated ones. Anything under 11 are old bad faulty ones that BMW replaced and re engineered.
Yup, I had several injectors that were still index 7 and they were mixed with a few index 11 in the same bank. One was also coded improperly. A real mess.
My new set is all index 12, can't wait to have them all in properly...
Thank you for the advice on seating the injectors. I was definitely doing that wrong.
Do dealers usually stock small hardware items like that? That's definitely the easiest thing if they keep them around. Would be nice to have a part # for it though, so far google hasn't helped..

Five reasons why the New England Patriots will beat the San Diego Chargers
1. Mental Toughness.
The Patriots are mentally tougher than the Chargers, especially with the game on the line. That speaks volumes when it comes crunch time. Look at this years San Diego vs Denver game. True it was a bad call on a fumble that gave Denver the ball back in the red zone. It was San Diegos defense that let Denver score a touchdown. Then if that wasnt enough the same defense allowed Denver who elected to go for a two point conversion and the win to be successful and win the game.
That wasnt the first time the Chargers had lost a game in the closing seconds. The first game of the year verses the Carolina Panthers was lost in the closing seconds when Carolina scored a touchdown. Both times in the closing seconds San Diego has given up touchdowns to lose the game. If this game comes down to the closing seconds count on the Chargers remembering their inability to stop their opponents on a game saving drive. The Patriots on the other hand when presented with that situation performed a goal line stance stopping the Chiefs from scoring the tying touchdown in week one. Another thing that has haunted the Chargers are the dumb personal foul penalties that will keep the opponents drives alive at the end of the game. All of these are related to the mental toughness of the Chargers.
2. San Diegos pass defense
The Chargers are tied for seventh place in the NFL in sacks along with the New York Jets and San Francisco 49ers . So it is known that the Chargers can get to the quarterback. The Patriots beat the other two teams tied with San Diego in sacks. This begs the question, what are the Chargers doing when they are not sacking the quarterback? Answer: Giving up 265.6 pass yards a game. In case youre wondering that is good for 32nd place in the NFL. Can you say dead last? Imagine how bad theyd be if they didnt get to the quarterback for the sacks. No one will ever confuse Matt Cassel for Tom Brady. If the Chargers defenders dont get to Cassel, he should be able to make them pay with enough plays to score touchdowns and most importantly keep the Patriots offense on the field and San Diegos offense on the sidelines.
3. San Diegos total defense
The Charger defense is ranked 24th in the NFL allowing 25.8 points a game. The also include allowing 113.4 rush yards per game to their opponent, 18th in the NFL. Although the pass defense so far this year has been horrible for the Chargers, expect New England to run the ball. The Patriots average almost as much as the Chargers allow per game at 113 rush yards a game, a mere 0.4 yards difference. A healthy dose of Sammy Morris should slow down the Chargers pass rush. As of Friday Lamont Jordan did not practice. If somehow he gets himself ready and able to play on Sunday it could be a long night for the Chargers. This will also cut down on Cassel making mistakes and allow him to just manage the game while cutting down on opportunities for the Chargers to make plays on defense. If the Chargers cant make any plays on defense and get the Patriot offense off of the field on third down, they are looking at making their 2008 record 2-4.
4. San Diego Rushing offense
The Chargers are 21st in the NFL in rushing averaging 98.6 yards a game. Thats with one of the games best running backs in LaDainian Tomlinson. The Chargers are at their best when they are running the ball. In contrast the Chargers are averaging 226.6 passing yards a game, ranking 9th in the NFL. When the Patriots have had trouble with the Chargers in the past, LT as he is called had big days rushing the ball. New England welcomes the chance to force Philip Rivers to beat them instead of LT. Although the Charger passing yards rank in the top ten, they have a sub .500 record. That plays into the Patriots hand on defense. The Patriots only allow 175.2 passing yards a game, 8th best in the NFL. Chambers and Jackson, the starting wider receivers for San Diego both appeared on the injury report, with Chambers most likely out. No word yet on Jackson. If Chambers and Jackson cannot play it changes the Chargers game plan. If they do and the Chargers cant run effectively at the Patriots (124.8 rushing yards allowed, ranking 20th in the NFL) they will most certainly put themselves at a major disadvantage.
5. Team Leadership and Coaching.
Norv Turner is piloting the Chargers to a slow start for the second straight year. Maybe because he takes it easy on his starters in the pre-season has something to do with it. Turner has a reputation for being a players coach and that laid back attitude shows up in the pre-season. This could explain why the Chargers with all of the talent they have on the field start the regular season slowly then have to play catch up. Doing that this year may really prove to be a hazard with Denver leading the way in the AFC West Division. The slow start can really put San Diego in jeopardy of not making the playoffs this year, especially if they struggle to knock off the Brady-less Pats. After New England the Chargers fly east to face Buffalo, another well disciplined team.
Contrast the Chargers coaching direction with the camp Belichick runs with the Patriots. The Patriot training camp is not easy on the players and it shows. When the Patriots lost Tom Brady in the first game of this year they didnt fold up tent and give up. They are taught when one player goes down its up the other player to step and do his job. Even when the Miami Dolphins beat the Patriots at home, New England came out after the bye week to beat San Francisco on the road. They believe in Belichick and his track record of three Super Bowl Championships. The Patriots have leaders in the locker room to make sure everyone stays focus and does their job the same leaders who have been through the undefeated regular season and the Super Bowl wins. I dont see the same thing from the Chargers. Listening to LT cry over spilled milk during his press conference after a Chargers loss is like night and day compared to listening to Tedy Bruschi after a Patriots loss. In a nutshell, that explains everything you need to know about the differences in leadership.
