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??

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