[emericadna7]

just do a search, you can easily find a fuse diagram for your car

[yamaha405]

ive tried, i couldnt even find if the car had a hydralic clutch or not, i suck at searching ont the interent, do you think that you could help me find good trouble shoot sites? does chiltons or haynes make a manual for these cars? thanks Chris---

[emericadna7]

what kind of car do you have. and what other than the fuse diagram are you looking for

[yamaha405]

I have a 1984 318i. It is in very good shape, except the engine needs a little help, and so does the clutch. i like to have good help sites jsut in sace is all. right nwo though, i think i may have a blown head gasket, but it still seems to have power, i jsut think that there is oil in the radiator though. I try and search for fues diagrams though again. thanks Chris---

well it runs of a sensor on your vacume line, i duno which sensor it pulls the information from, but it pulls from the tach and one of the vacume sensors, im not really sure which one. theres one on the MAF and then the purge valve, and the idle controll valve, should be one of those 3.

get your tach working first, and go through your fuses if you havn't already, and replace the batteries on the cluster as well, i doubt thats your problem but your supposed to do them every 5 years or somthing like that.
