I recently picked up a 1987 325es. A few days ago I was getting a bunch of thing done on it that you do when you first buy an e30. The car had been running fine, I drove it from home 70 miles, changed the spark plugs, intake boot and fuel filter, then drove it around the block several times. While it was running in the driveway the car died. When I try to start it back up, it will start up just fine revving up to about 1500rpm then just die all in one swift movement. I can do this over and over again with no change, starts and dies. Pushing on the gas makes no change at all.
With the drivers window down and a can of brakleeen I can start it and spray in the intake and it makes no difference at all so I know it is not a lack of fuel. If I keep the key in the start position the car will run and I can rev the engine just fine but clearly it is dragging the starter. I put a new ignition switch in it and it made no difference. Help me out here guys, any ideas?
