nah the servo is fine. it comes out of the throttle bodie. ive had alook at my brother in-laws E36 318i n his goes to a fuel pressure regulator. ive got the same plug on mine as his but it dont goe to anything its dirty like it aint ever been pluged into anything before but on his the plug goes to the regulator. also are electric the fuel pump meant to be runnin fast all of the time because mine does, just wondered if that had anything to do with it.
