Sometimes when I start my 86 325 it runs fine for a minute and then just cuts out,
it just stops, no missfires or spluttering and will not fire up. :cry:
other times it runs fine. :D

fuel pump fuse is ok, I haven't changed the relay yet (there arn't any with the same part no to swap it with in my fuse box)
I tryed bridging the relay connectors when it wouldn't run but still wouldn't fire up.

I thought fuel pumps just stop altogether when they wear out?

I have changed the blue temp sensor and cleaned out the ICV,
changed the plugs, leads, cap and rotor arm,
tested the coil and fly wheel sensors

I tryed bridging terminals 30 and 87 on the fuel pump relay but it still wouldn't fire up, it might be flooded I will try again tomorrow.
