First post here :)
I picked up a 86 325e from afriend to use as a winter car, up until now (1 week) the car has had no real problems beside a battery needing to be replaced and a leaky fuel tank (small leak). Started up everytime.
After i replaced the battery it struggled to start. i let it sit for 2 seconds, tried again and it started then died out on it's own. let it sit again, retried it and it started up perfect and kept itself running. Parked it for the night.
Came out for work this morning, and now it's just cranking on and on.
After a little trouble shooting i can't seem to hear the fuel pump when i have a friend turn the key for me. Anyone think the new battery actually providing proper voltage killed the pump?
If it is actually the pump, anyone have a good source for one? and how difficult is changing it?
