    ok good news... the new part came in from germany and it worked... sorta

    the car still fires up and dies. but this time, i am able to keep my foot on the pedal and keep the engine alive. but once i let go it dies again.

    i tried this using the new relay, then old then new again. only worked with the new relay... so i guess we are moving in the right direction.

    maybe i should go back and check all previous steps again to ensure everything is still working properly. what do you all think?

    i think it could be a vacuum issue or any other issue that forces the car to stall aka not idle properly... sigh

      Have you checked the icv? If it is blocked it will die with no throttle input.

        my car starts but dies right away. ive practically changed everything i could.

        fuel pump (secondary), fuel pump relay, distributor, leads, ignition coil, ICM, DME (ECU), fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator, new spark plugs

        i cleaned the injectors, tested the AFM for resistants, tested the coil (old and new), DME (ECU, old & new) created no change, spark plugs (old & new) produce a spark, leads (old & new) both produce a spark, new fuel relay stopped the annoying buzzing, tested the fuel pressure with a fuel pressure gauge and i am getting correct and plenty of pressure.

        ok now the question:

        how do you know if the change over relay's are messed up? is there a way to check these?

        and what do they actually do?

        this change over relay is closest to the driver


        would the middle change over relay be the "MAIN RELAY" that everyone is talking about?
        Left to right: fuel pump relay, vacuum advance relay, idle stabilization relay

          9pin or 10pin

          Im have an issue. Im dealing with my injection idle control change over relay. My 1985 318i m10 runs a 9pin. All i can find online is 10pin. Is that because i have a manual trans. Is the extra pin for automatic? Will the 10pin still work?

            The auto and manual M10 have the same change over relay, pn 13411708511. They all have 9 pins.






            I was having a horrible intermittent bucking that ended up being the connector for the change over relay. The female end connector inside the plug were loose. I popped it open and reseated them.
