Post by je328is »

hey guys, I started up my M5 today back out of the driveway and she died, wont start now. I want to swap out the main and fuel pump relays. Which relays are they? Thanks.

They are in the glovebox next to your ECU. The 5 prong one is the main relay and the 4 prong is the fuel pump relay.

Thanks! I finally figured it out! The problem was just a bad fuel pump relay. I'm glad it was something minor and that I have a few spare relays around. I also put in fresh Amsoil 20w50 synthetic today, my S38 is happy!
