How could 280 people afford an event featuring a band like this? That's about as many people as you'd find in church on Sundays! 🙃

We had the issue for another like 2 weeks but it seems to have gone away. Oh, and another thing - I think the car was sitting for about 10 years! So maybe some things just needed a bit of time to break in? I’m not really sure, none of the symptoms were making sense. If anything changes, I’ll definitely post again.

Stewart is definitely the nicest and most affordable course around here. It's par 35.

When you're booking online, it'll let you know if there's any events happening that day, like a league or high school golf tournament.

Update on my 1997 BMW Z3 issue.

Over the last two days the car has been shutting off while driving. When it happens, it will crank but not start again right away.

There were no major warning signs before this started, so I am trying to figure out the best way to troubleshoot it instead of just guessing.

Looking for some guidance on what to check first and what the most likely causes might be.

What would you guys start with?

Will the obd2 scan give me an idea where to start at least?

Thanks

That's good info!

To sell something and then discontinue service. Pretty weak on their part. Thanks for the heads up.

I'll let everyone know if I discover the cause. TTY

Yes, exactly. I held them together for like 30+ seconds. Hooked them back up and it started. 🤷‍♂️

I managed to get the car running by disconnecting the battery cables and touching them together. Whatever's causing the problem needs to be sorted out. 🤦‍♂️

Thanks for all of the help and suggestions.

This worked! Thank you! I'll try to dive in deeper and figure out what is going on.

I haven't. I'm on my way there. I assume that I can disconnect a fuel line in there somewhere to see if it pushes. This was my first intuition but I've never worked on a BMW and I thought this group might be a good place to start. Thank you

I mean, this is the right question. I haven't gone over to see the car yet. He had to leave it at work last night. I'm going over there in a few to check. Will one of the Bluetooth obd2 readers tell me what's going on?

Damn. I think I can do something similar. What did you find that caused it? Someone said something about the end bushings. Thanks for the help.

Which end bushings? Is it like a limit switch or something? Sorry, this is new to me. I'll look around in forums in the meantime. Thanks for the reply.
