E30 Zone

alright lads i went to oz for a year so the 325 was lying there
i went to start it when i got back and one of the fuel lines was perished i changed it and the car wont idle it will start and when i pump the peddle it revs up but will only idle on its own for about five seconds any help much appreciated

If the ECU has been left without power it may well need to relearn its idle settings. Otherwise look for cracks and splits in the big air hose from the air meter to the throttle body, and check that the throttle position switch on the throttle body is working properly.

yeah there was a split on the air hose
