Evening All,

Just removed my 325i from my folks garage today after numerous years of storage to start getting it road worthy!

When it was last running (its been off the road for at least 10 - 12 years) it would start no problems at all, but when you blipped the throttle on it, the engine would cut out. But would start again after turning the key.

Any suggestions as to what the problem could be?

I'll get some photos of it up, when I figure out how to add them!

Cheers,
Andy

Fuel blockage / pressure

Have you done a compression test on all 6 cylinders ?

Fuel pump might be on its way out. I had it on my iS after long time storage. Would idle but not rev.
