So first time BMW owner here, and i've got a few questions about my 90 325i.
I've really only been into jeeps and old chevys since i got my license but decided to take a chance on a E30 as a DD.
So, problem one:
The car takes a while to start, and sometimes wont even start. it'll crank for about 5-7 seconds before just barely catching, and sometimes it just plain wont start first try but the second hit of the key and it fires right up. Could it be the pump not holding pressure?
Problem two:
The car has a slight bog when just touching the pedal as soon as you begin to tip into it the car will stumble for a second, but wont do this if you go over that spot as soon as you get on the gas.
Problem three:
Now this is a odd one ... My tempature gauge will spike up when i turn on the blower motor? the car useually sit around half mark but if you turn on the blower motor it spikes up to 5/8ths of the gauge, sometimes 3/4ths.
Some things that i recently did to the car that i dont know if it would cause this is:
New Gas tank
New ground cable from the frame to the oil pan
New fuel filter
Optima 800cc battery
New plugs and wires
and a new air filter.
