      Quick question for those in the know. I just started driving my 318is, and the fuel gauge goes to full every now and then when I know it's not. I'm pulling the cluster now to look for the obvious, but before I start barking up the wrong tree perhaps someone could point me in the right direction. I had a similar issue on my 325i and it was a loose ground, but IIRC it effected all the gauges.

          would a 90 325i sending unit be the same as a 91 318is? Just asking because I have one.

                  Definitely just swap out a working main relay as well for your no start issue. You've got a ton of posts, but it's worth recommending anyway lol

                  Thanks a lot, I had no idea I had that many post until you mentioned it, post count means nothing lol half that's probably in this damn thread.

                  I'm still learning how these systems work, every time I think I know what I'm doing something happens I can't fix.

                    Anyone who thinks that post count = knowledge is an idiot. I know because I'm an idiot and I have a shit load of posts.

                        Anyone who thinks they know everything to learn about something is sadly mistaken. There is always room to improve.

                          Two phrases of wisdom (of many) I learned from an old tech named O'Hara:

                          -The day you stop learning, you die.

                          -The smartest man admits he knows nothing.

                          God Natt.

                            So I've decided my first purchase off the Snap On truck is going to be Wobbly Extension set in 3/8ths. Those are so priceless. Love em.

                              It's a slippery slope. I don't want to know how much money I've spent on the snap on truck.

                                Seth, just replace them both. Or not. I think they are both the same sensor.
