Neurotic 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2007 e30 318 issues Was just wondering if anyone had any idea what is wrong with my car? I have an 1987 318 (m10 motor) which has problems. You jump in it and start it and it just splutters and conks out so you have to keep reving it until it warms up, once it warms up its fine. Changing the idle does not do anything. It has had the spark plugs, leads, and rota changed, the timing done also. Am puzzled as to what it could be, any advice would be appreciated, Thanks.

If its not what Will has put here, try the fuel pump ... my E30 few years back had the same problem and ended up it was the fuel pump Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
