Hi Guys,
Haven't been using my 318is coupe for some time but have been starting it to let it warm up & quick drive up and down the road.
However, I haven't done it for a month and tried it last night - this is what happened;
1. Ignition on and dashboard lights light up
2. Turn the ignition key.
3. Engine turns over, needles on rev counter jump around a bit then starter cuts out after about 5 seconds.
4. Try again and same as point 4.
Before I attack it with my toolkit - what would your advice be to check - and in which order :cool
Bearing in mind it started within 2 seconds a month ago and on all previous start-ups :thumbsup
I don't have a working code reader - I have an interface I'm currently trying to setup on my laptop, but no luck yet - USB to serial port mappings mad:mad
Also, is the starter supposed to cut out after 5 seconds? (overheat protection?)
Thanks,
Mark.
