Being an intermittent issue coupled with my novice level skill set, I'm having a hard time here guys. I touched 12V to the connector (female) and the engine cranked. I imagine it didn't start because pulling the harness also disconnected the power to fuel pump or ignition coil? Regardless, I reconnected the harness and tried to start the car, and it started. I made it to my destination, had lunch, came out and car wouldn't start. Touched 12V to 1st female at 14 pin and engine cranked, reconnected and started using the key again. Is it just a coincidence that it happened to start? I also stopped for gas on the way home and it started fine, which was great because a guy in an '89 325i was chatting me up about the car.
I'm not sure what to do, since when the car wasn't starting, I was getting 10.3V at #50 wire to solenoid and 12V gave me crank at the 14 pin.
I'm sorry if this thread is boring, but I'm hoping to have it sorted out to help anyone else having this issue in the future.
Again, many thanks
Marc
