Hi all,
i just bought a '95 325iC, has 90K miles, the owner was a mid-40 lady, who stated that she had her fun w/ the car, & wants to pass it on.
she stated that the car was not run for 6 months, and now, it won't start, in addition, the convertible top rear window was missing, and won't work. Asking price, $ 4500.
She figured, new engine, new top would compensate for the low price.
i figured, dead battery, flooded DME, dead fuel pump, easy fix, DEAL.
now i find flooded rear passenger foot well, spent the last 2 days drying it out. DME's compartment's dry, battery is new, gonna tacke the fuel pump this wknd. Question is ? is there a fuel pump reset switch ? i read somewhere that it runs under the carpet, from the battery to the engine, but where ???
Carfax request WBABJ6320SJD43426.
car was Ca license, so i don't think it's Katrina related. But could the car went to visit N.O., then get flooded ?
also, if fuel pump works, where do i go next ? i read that crank sensor will also affect the engine starting too, is that correct ?
any advice is highly appreciated. please take it easy on a Newbie. Although I've been reading the Forum for a while,
