[handpaper]

Two things:
1) Learn to write in English, not gibberish
2) There is no impact-triggered fuel/engine kill switch. You've broken something.

[bigneale]

well the fuel pump is not kicking in cud it be the relay or the fuel pump it self

[bigneale]

rite checked the fuel pump its not kicking in checked the relays they r fine so it must hav a fuel cut off switch wer r these located on e30 bmw

No it doesn't, unless you count the normal electrical supply.

Do you know for sure that the fuel pump works? Do you know for sure that the fuel pump is getting power? How?

[Brianmoooore]

There is no fuel cut off switch on an E30!!
Check fuse 11. - Impact may have cut into a cable.
If that's OK, short across 30 and 87 of the fuel pump relay's socket. That should make it run continuously.

By the way wh are you speaking in txt speak? its actually harder to read and most people wont' bother replyinging if they have to decypher crap every time!

[bigneale]

as son as i hit the kerb the cars fuel cut off its turns over fine the fuel pump is not making its buzzing noise as son as u turn the ignaition on

[march109]

Well maybe hitting the kerb broke the pump! because there is no fuel cut off switch.

Also if you have an immobiliser then that may be playing up due to an impact. And I am assuming your fuel pump is knackered or not getting power, listen to Brian he knows more about e30s than I know about my own genitals.

[bigneale]

i no everyone is trying to help here but it must hav a safty feature on the e30s like because as soon as i hit the fuel just shut off iv checked the fuel pump it runs so it must hav a a fuel switch on it i do hav a immobiliser but it runs off a transponder key so as soon as i turn the igniation on it starts

[march109]

what do you mean as soon "as soon as i hit the fuel just shut off"????

Does the car start? does it idle? when you press the go pedal does it then cut out?

or

Does the car NOT start? does it turn over?

There is withought a doubt definatly no fuel cut off switch, but if you could describe the symptoms better we would be able to understand what happening at the moment it appears to be a pump problem.

Did the fuel pump run when you bridged 30 and 87 of the fuel pump relay's socket?

Have you checked fuse 11? is there power to the pump?

[bigneale]

rite wot happend is i hit the kerb and bounced off it rolled along pressed the go pedal and it started to bork out i tried starting it but it wud not kept starting then borking out checked the fuel pump and it was not kicking in wen u turned the ignaition on i hav checked fuse 11 its fine

Yes, I do! You've been told several times to type in English, and you've been told several times that E30s do not have a fuel cut off switch, yet you persist with both.

right so wen i hit the kurb u all think i hav broke sumthing i did not hit the kerb hard how can u just knack a fuel pump like that if thats so then e30 are shit

[march109]

sounds like its your driving, reading and comprehension skills that are shit. Or this is one big wind up since you haven't actualy bothered to listen to anyone who has tried to help you.

[munky30]

If you hit the kerb hard enough to buckle a wheel, you hit it hard enough to knock a connection loose or break something.

[Brianmoooore]

THE E30 DOES NOT HAVE A FUEL CUT OFF INERTIA SWITCH!! The only inertia switch in an E30 is in the locking ECU and unlocks the doors.

[Martinaston]

Well educate us then. Where is it ?

[march109]

I think he found the fuse

Now why isn't there a :muppet: emoticon?

Well perhaps you could be helpful then and tell others where you found this mystery cut-off switch...

By the way, we operate a 2 strike system, ie two strikes and your out. Not wishing to be cocky/rude/bigheaded etc but your attitude sucks. If you wish to participate in this forum, then you need to listen to what others have to say, not ignore people, and generally try to wind them up. You'll not receive any further help from people if you keep pissing them off.

So PLEASE loose the attitude, type in English, and remember the E30's are getting old, so handle with care.

[xstream]

if we are all sados and idiots as u said what ever that means. then why come on the forum and ask us about fuel cut off switch that every ones explaind to u it does not have one but your the only one thats got one ... you sure u got an e30 or did u have a dream.

[Jesus325iTouring]

You fools of course ALL E30's have a fuel cut off switch,it's on the right side of the steering wheel and is operated by a piece toothed metal you stick in a turn.

[bigneale]

i did not come on here to piss people off or insult there knoledge of e30s i was mealey asking wheather the e30s hav cut off switches because i did not see how hitting the kerb it cud just shut the engine off starving it of fuel i did check the fuel pump it is working fine i hav check ed the relay and that is fine i then hooked the fuel pump to a main live and tried to start it which it did nothing i do think i was out of order in wot i said and plz accept my soory for being daft with u all i hav not found this switch as i hav cum to reliese it does not hav one there for i dont no wot else i can do to find out y this car wont start as the fuel pump does work fine and the relay is working fine only thing i can now think off is the ecu has locked it self

[Colonel Sanders]

im havin a bit of trouble with fuel,
the mrs borrowed my car the other day and she took it to the shop and it was fine she said when she came back to it she tried to start it and it started really lumpy and as soon as she put her foot on the gas pedel and it cut out.it did this a couple of times and went i went down later in the day to pick it up i turned it over and there was nothing at all coming out of it. It turned over OK but didn't even want to go!

I took the fuel hose off the injector rail and turned it over for about 10 seceonds and nothing came out although it was damp. I checked the fuse and that was OK

Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong?

Can the fuel pump sh!t itself that quick?
