Looked at like 10 different threads about starts and non quite similar to mine.
88 325i vert.
For a while the car would start awfully.. it would crank and crank, I'd have to smash on the throttle a bunch (I'm guessing this is bad, why do I need to do this?) and sometimes it would crank for a while but I wouldn't hold it too long. Other times it would crank a second and I would press the throttle and it starts.
So yesterday the car did something different.. it sort of cranked like higher audio tone than usual and I pressed the throttle right away and it started up right away. I drove to the mall, came back, get inside and turn the key and NOTHING. Just clicks a second and a faint buzzing sound. Had a friend jump start and that worked. But this started happening out of no where. Same thing today.. I turned the key and it lit right up with a little throttle, drove it around a couple minutes and turned it off. Tried turning back and nope. No crank again. Messed around with fuses, non blown, checked without fuse 27, no help, took out heated seats fuse (I don't have mine plugged in, just to check) nothing. Went and unhooked the antenna ( doesn't go up anyway) and didn't crank so plugged it back in. I went inside to research a little more and came back and it turned on without any problems at all... multiple times, without any throttle either which it has never done. I'm so confused. My first car and really nooby.
