hi qutak,

your relay that supplies power to the spark plugs may be the culprit.

ask your mechanic to check and see if the plugs spark when you start the engine.

regards,

tailgate

ha....safeguard measure?you're kidding right? :lol:

qutak,you mention kenot start as in no cranking or it cranks but won't fire?

if nil crank,i suggest you install an additional starter solenid in parallel.

if won't fire up,tailgate may be on to something there..........

Seems like a problem similar to my E36

Car only start after switching off for about 30 mins or so. Happened so many times even after i changed to a new starter motor

Eventually my mech traced the problem and found was that the starter motor was not getting enough electric supply

my mech said it's a common problem with E36's

To rectify he made an added an additional wiring to the starter motor

Never had a problem since

Total cost RM35 :rofl:
