If the fuel rail sensor stops working, it won't directly stop fuel production, but it can disrupt the engine's fuel management system. The sensor monitors the pressure in the fuel rail and provides data to the engine control unit (ECU) to optimize fuel delivery. If the sensor fails, the ECU may not adjust fuel flow correctly, leading to issues like poor engine performance, stalling, or reduced efficiency. However, fuel can still be delivered to the engine, albeit potentially inappropriately.

In a BMW 750, the defroster activates automatically with the air conditioning when the climate control system is set to "Defrost" mode. This feature helps to remove moisture from the air, preventing fogging on the windshield.
