88 325i problems, won't run-fuel system?

[JBHashem@xxxxxxx]

Hi All,

A friend without connection to the digest has a problem with his 88 325i.  I am mechanically impaired, so I told him I'd ask for him.  Here is the problem:



CAR DEVELOPED STALLING PROBLEM. THEN WOULD BOG DOWN WITH BLACK SMOKE OUT EXHUAST PIPE, WOULD HAVE TO PUT IT IN NeUTRAL AND REV ENGINE TO GET IT TO STOP, SOME TIMES WOULD HAVE THAT PROBLEM WHEN STARTING THE CAR.SOMETIMES WOULD NOT START AT ALL. BROUGHT THE CAR TO 2 LOCAL GARAGES AND HAD IT LOOKED AT, ONE SAID IT NEEDED A NEW COMPUTER, BUT THAT WASN'T IT, AND SAID THEY REALLY DIDN'T WORK ON FORIEGN CARS. NEXT LOCAL GARAGE SAID THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT, AND PUT ON A NEW FUEL PUMP, DIST.  GOOD FOR 1 WEEK THAN PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN. Will turn over but won't start.

Thanks,
John
