|
|
Hello,
My 81' 528i has a cold start problem.
When cold, 40-60f, at first start in the morning the starter
will hang up even when engine appears to be starting.
I can turn OFF the ignition and pull the key out, and starter is still cranking.
It is a real pain in the rear to get her fired up!
I will have to pump the gas just right to get her started when the starter
stops hanging up. After running for about 30 seconds to a minute, I will
turn off. Click the ignition and fires up with just a click, or barely cranking
over the motor. Runs GREAT!!
Is there a starter relay that needs to be looked at or replaced?
Is the started solenoid hanging up?
Thanks for any advice!

You're due for a new ignition switch. _________________
