Hiya
I’ve been having a wired issue with my e30 lately, hoping someone will be able to point me in the right direction.
So my bmw is a 1987, 320i the preface lift model. The car has been randomly cutting out / stalling when driving ( no matter if it’s rainy or hot )
When the vehicle cuts out, it cranks but doesn’t start. I can’t hear the fuel pump priming, nor the fuel pump relay clicking (when cranking) After 30 secs the vehicle starts just fine (Fuel pump priming) This can happen 2-3 times in a row, and after that the car runs absolutely fine. It seems that the fuel pump relay or fuel pump is overheating 🤔 and tripping out.
What can cause the fuel pump relay to trip out, is it a bad fuel pump ? Fuel pump relay? Or is it the crankshaft sensor ( don’t think so as the fuel relay shouldn’t be affected by the crank shaft sensor )
I’ve previously fitted :
new ignition coil + dizzy + rotor arm + HT leads
new fuel pump ( Boshe) / tank / hoses
