i parked my 325i sport and went back to start it again 3 hours later to find it would not start. I tried it a few times and it was turning over but still not starting.
Pissed off locked it and went to walk away and heard a clicking sound from under the bonnet. I had a look and think it was the injectors that where clicking. Disconnected the battery and went to bed (bad mood)!!.

DAY 2

Got up the next day connected up the battery and tried to start it and still not starting. Locked it up again now injectors and idle speed control valve both making noises,keys in my pocket!!. Disconnected the battery again - really pissed of at this stage hair falling out!!!!.

DAY 3 - TODAY

Went out to it this morning and connected up the battery and tried to start it. splutter splutter splutter!!! and she started!!!!!! OH! yes happy days i though but it was short lived 5 minutes later she stopped again, tried to start her again and no go. Totally pissed locked it up walking away keys in my pocket and the fuel pump starts to run by it self.

any ideas greatly appreciated ???????????????
