Subject: 325e FUEL PUMP not delivering !!??? Author: spacemarshall : member since July, 2008 : 55 posts Posted on: 2008-09-19 05:24:42

well, a bit over a week ago my car wouldnt start at all for a few days so i left it alone waiting to get a pic n pull thermo/time switch and cold start valve - which is what i thought was the problem. after removing my ther-time switch and cold start and looking closer at my wiring im not certain their a problem -- BUT NOW MY FUEL PUMP wont delvier any gas- my filter is clear - but NO GAS coming thru line when starting. I DID SEAFOAM the day before it stopped running.
could the seafoam have clogged the pump???
could a fuse/relay have gone (i added a new a/c switch and resistor and a working power antennae to the system-day before it wouldnt start)

after looking at haynes and digarams from BMWFAN likehttp://bmwfans.info/original/E30/2-T/325e-M20/USA/L/M/1984/11/mg-16/ill-16_0172/

im a bit confused as to where my pump is exactly (in or out of tank) and if it has the pre supply pump???
can i access it from under my back seat on this car????

im also guessing that a FAILING fuel pump could have caused the dozen and a half hard starts ive had since i got car - and it may not have been the cold start valve as much as not enough rail pressure???

this is my first bmw that ive worked on and i have never replaced fuel lines or a fuel pump- so im rather confused!!!

thanks for any tips or links
