Car Forum / BMW Cars / December 2006E30 325i starting issues
Here's the scenario... Car has been intermittently hard to start. Yesterday, the car stopped starting all together. I suspected the Idle Valve as it was not buzzing as it used to however when I connected it a working car, it buzzes and appears to work. While troubleshooting, I noticed the CHECK ENGINE light is not lit when the key is turned on. I am going to check all the fuses in just a bit and am looking for other suggestions. On the chance that the ECU has gone south, will the ECU from an 87 325i plug in and work or are there problems with it being an older ECU? More diagnostics and the resolution... No spark further led to looking higher up the food chain for the problem. After a little research on diagnosing the ECU, I swapped the main (Motronic) relay with a known working unit and the car lives again. >Here's the scenario... > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >from an 87 325i plug in and work or are there problems with it being >an older ECU? |
