Hi all. My first time on here. I bought a 71 fully restored CSI a few months ago. You might have see it on oldcolonel classics. I also have an E28 M5 (US version) but the CSI is much more fun....never thought I would say that.
Any...rambling. Have the following issue which I am really struggling with.
Last week car died underway. Did not look electrical. But now not sure. The engine turns and fires briefly but will not run on...just dies every time. I have check the following:
Battery Volts Good
Fuel Pump running and pressure at rail - I have even had the fuel pump running straight off the battery so its on all the time and still wont run on. Inerestingly the fuel pump only runs actaually on ignition....I thought it would pressurise the rail in key position 2 rather than 3.
Spark Plug all sparking
Air good.
I am wondering if it is an ECU issue ? I have seen prices of these so would like to explore all avenues.
Any advise VERY warmly received.
Cheers
Mrum
