Ufuel pump problem

[nudge]

went to look at a car sunday and he had problems with the fuel pump , not the pump itself but the wiring m he said it could be a slow blown fuse .
anyone any ideas ? where are these fuses ?

I'd be looking at an immobiliser issue e36? Weather for them my car is acting up also. Symptoms? Fuel pump is clearly labelled fuse wise and realy is top left iirc

would it affect it in any way just running the live from the battery and just put it to a switch

It needs to prime only when needed so yes it would. What are the symptoms of car not starting?

Any any ideas need help

The connection might just be weak causing it to run lean/not at all ? I saw a video on YouTube about it (p plater mods is the Chanel name) it sounds pretty similar to your problem they just added an extra wire to carry a 12v current hope this helps

Yea I hope it's something minor because it's making me have seconds thoughts on buying if it's going to be immobiliser

If all comes to all get an auto electrician to take it out
