Re: 325i Auto: Cranks but Not Starting

I would get the original DME out and send it off to ACtronics or whoever else u may use / know of. If the DME has a fault, u can go on testing stuff for weeks to no avail, I speak from experience. My 1990 325i convert would crank,, but not start - DME was faulty.

Aslo, on the electric roof switch, one side is blown (I guess ther...
