my 1989 316i wont work lol !!

Was running ok and then begain to jerk under acceleration, then retuned to normal.

Now its outside my house and wont work. I think it might be the fuel pump relay but i dont have a clue which relay??

checked the fuel pump fuse and seems ok.

anybody got any ideas for me to try??

But the weather here helps!!!

First thing to do is check that there sparks at a spark plug and fuel at the fuel rail when you crank the engine.
