Changed ccv but now poor starting

[abh29]

I recently changed the ccv and associated pipe work.
Now she starts perfectly when cold ,but is reluctant to start when warm.
Previous she has always been a very good starter.
Any ideas what I may have done to cause this.

First off check you haven't disturbed any of the intake rubber hoses or one may have split as you moved them about with the ccv change

After that it needs a code reader but could be the camshaft sensor

Reluctant to start when warm? You were lucky, when I did mine it wouldn't start at all. Turned out I'd left a plug un-connected. Best have a good look to make sure you haven't done the same, if not then, as @Brian4 says, code reader time.

Ditto , not quite sure what the plug was off , but I had not fully clipped it in place , all seems well again now,
Back to starting on a touch of the key.

Easily done, said the bloke that did it. That's a lot of stuff to undo just for a little valve, maybe BMW were hoping to make a few quid/dollars/euros in the future. If I ever did it again I'd see about moving it somewhere a bit easier. Bit of a big if, that.

But a good day overall, Z3 now back to normal and X1 past MoT [in Main Dealers] no trouble this morning.
Like it when thinks work out.

And it's a mistake you won't make again. Plenty more in the pipe-line to come.How do I know that?
