Can anyone help with this problem. My E30 320i 1991, will turn over but will not start, it fails to fire. On number 1 lead, there is a sensor lead which goes towards the flywheel area, part of this has melted would this be the cause. What exactly is this lead, and if not problem HELP!

Thanks for replying. I am getting a spark to my spark plugs. The engine turns but will not start. I have petrol, so do not understand why it will not run. I have changed distributor, rotor arm, spark plugs, checked idle valve control O.K. any suggestions.

Is there any evidence of fuel on the plugs ??? if not its either your fuel pump or fuel filter blocked or the camshaft sensor.

You should be able to hear the fuel pump kick on with the key on engine off. I don't have my repair manuel or else I would be able to help.
