I am having a similar problem The car won't start and I suspected a fuel issue. I tried the the relay bypass method but the Bentley manual does not match my 96 automatic. (I have no relay in location #1. I only have two relays there, not three as per Bentley.) I pressed on the schrader valve on the fuel rail and got nothing. I suspect the fuel pump is not running. But is it the pump itself or the relay? Which one is the relay? I guess I can test if I have voltage at the pump during cranking. If I do, I know it's the pump. If not... Does anyone know which relay goes to the fuel pump on a 96 automatic? (Soon to be an S52 5-speed but not yet.) __________________ Pierre 96 318ti (S52), 97 318ti, 95 318ti, 69 2002 (M20), 74 2002tii, 76 530i (3.3), 79 323i, 81 528i, 90 325i, 91 318is, 97 Z3, 2002 330i, 2002 R1150RT.
