Help! 89 325i just went dead.


#1

Driving along and all of a sudden it started sputtering, gave two clicks and the engine died. Tried starting and all it gives is a whirring/humming sound. Any ideas?


#2

Is the starter turning the engine? If so, does it sound like it normally does when the starter is turning the engine? If the starting sound is unusual, does it sound like the starter is turning the engine too fast (broke tbelt), or too slow (dead alternator, batt was running the motor)?


#3

Tell em about your fuel issues as well. I would assume it has something to do with that like your fuel pump or wiring.


#4

Are you sure it’s got gas in the tank?

Make sure the CAS wire hasn’t broken off at the sensor or been chewed up by the H20 pump pulley. No CAS = No workie
