Thanks I'll check it out.
It's not a major issue to me but the wife tends to draw the line at pulling fuses etc to make the car start Tris |

Yeah this is a common problem it seems with the 320's. There is a fix for it, something about the fuel pump ad a delay being needed after the car fails to start before it starts pumping again. Somebody on www.e30zone.co.uk forum will remember it i've forgotten. If you need to get it running then disconnect the fuel pump relay and crank it for a while, it should fire then replace the relay. |

Cheers Paul
If I don't catch it just right it floods and won't fire. If it does start then it sounds over choked, ie if it was a manual choke I'd push it in. Tris |

What are your symptoms mate? Temp sensor just unbolts, think i got an angled spanner on it in the end. |

Hi every one
My E30 appears to have all the symptons that indicate the blue temperature sensor has failed. I've had a look but it looks a b***h to get at. Is there an easy way to get in there and replace it? Cheers Tris |
