So the run down is i have a 1993 (late 1992) e30 Cabrio 325i that i bought a few months back. Its been sitting since i bought it do to the winter season and it was sitting before i bought it as well. Car ran good only issue was the battery would drain after 4-5 days and the car would have to be jump started.
The Issue:
I went to start the car 2 weeks ago after i was away on a week of vacation and of course the battery is dead so i try to jump start it, i let the battery charge with my other car for a few mins then try to start it. The BMW starts smooth then instantly dies. I try to start it a few more times and it wont fire. I come back a few days later to try it again with a fresh battery to rule that out. The car does it again starts 1 time then stalls immediately and then wont start up again.
Before i go into checking everything that could contribute to a no start. i was wondering what you all think is the probable cause to this issue. Im thinking its not a spark issue, for flywheel sensor because it does start (once), so I'm leaning toward a lack of fuel. Any help would be great before i spend a hole Saturday morning in the freezing cold starting to diagnose one step at a time.
Thanks Rob
