Dabsy (or other bmw techs) i need your knowledge.
My car ran perfectly fine today, drove about 120 miles or so and not a problem. then i go to work, car still runs fine other than the occasional icv (idle control valve) problem which will soon be fixed. then as im done with my shift, i go to start up my car and it runs for a few seconds then sputters off and dies. i try starting it again, does the same thing. then i try again and it just turns over and over and over. so i immediately think its gotta be the fuel pump cause i just filled up today. so i have a friend come pick me up and he says well lets give it a try. so i go So start it up and it runs perfectly fine? drove it home and it was fine.
now what im wondering is that could the fuel pump just be about ready to die or could the idle control vale be a causing this, which i don't think it is but it could be a possibility. I just wanna figure this little gremlin out so it wont leave me stranded again.
