GENERAL
This

covers
fuel

system
component
testing
and
repair
.
Special
equipment
is
necessary
for
some
of
the
procedures
given
in
this
repair
group
.
If
you
do
not
have
the
equipment
required
to
do
the
job,
it
is
recommended
that
these
repairs
be
left
to
an
authorized
BMW
dealer
.
The
BMW
dealer
is
equipped
with
sophisticated
diagnostic
test
equip-
ment
that
is
capable
of
quicklypinpointing
hard-to-find

The
fuel
injection
system
is
completely
electronic
in
opera-
tion
.
Air
flow
is
measured
electronically
via
a
mass
air
flow
sensor
and
additional
sensors
supply
information
about
en-
gine
operating
conditions
.
The
ECM
calculates
the
amount
of
fuel
needed
for
the
correct
air-fuel
ratio
and
actuates
the
fuel
injectors
accordingly
.
The
amount
offuel
metered
to
theen-
gine
is
determined
by
how
long
the
injectors
are
open
.
Airintake
.
Air
entering
the
engine
passes
through
a
pleat-
ed
paper
air
filter
in
the
air
cleaner
.
Intake
air
volume
or
mass
is
then
measured
bya
mass
air
flow
(MAF)
sensor
.
In
al¡
ex-
cept
the
vane
type
sensor
(DME
M1
.7),
a
reference
current
is
used
to
heat
a
thin
wireor
film
in
the
sensor
when
the
engine
is
running
.
The
current
used
to
heat
the
wire/film
is
electroni-
cally
converted
into
a
voltage
measurement
corresponding
to
the
mass
of
the
intake
air
.

WARNING
-
At
normal
operating
temperature
-
the
cooling
sys-
tem
is
pressurized
.
Allow
the
system
to
cool
before
opening
.
Release
the
cap
slowly
to
allow
sale
re-
tease
of
pressure
.
With
the
engine
cold,instan
a
pressure
tester
to
the
expan-
sion
tank
.
Pressurize
thesystem
to
the
specification
listed
be-
low
.
Pressure
should
not
drop
more
than
0
.1
bar
(1
.45
psi)
for
at
leakt
two
minutes
.
If
the
pressure
drops
rapidly
and
there
is
no
sign
of
an
externa¡
leak,
the
cylinder
head
gasket
may
be
faulty
.
Considera
compression
test
as
described
in
100
En-
gine-General
.
The
screw-on
type
expansion
tank
cap
should
also
be
test-
ed
using
a
pressure
tester
and
the
correct
adapter

Thermostat
Quick
Check
In
later
models,
the
ECT
sensor
and
the
gauge
sender
are
combined
into
one
sender
unit
.
For
wire
colors
refer
to
Table
a
.
To
check
if
the
thermostat
is
opening
and
coolant
is
circulat-
ing
through
the
radiator,
allow
a
cold
engine
to
reach
operat-
ing
temperature
(temperature
gauge
needieapproximately
centered)
.
Shut
off
engine
.
Feel
the
top
radiator
hose
.
If
the
hose
is
hot
to
the
touch,
the
coolant
is
probably
circulating
cor-
rectly
.
If
there
are
any
cool
areas
in
the
hose
or
radiator,
cool-
ant
flow
to
the
radiator
is
probably
restricted
.
Check
for
a
faulty
thermostat
or
aplugged
radiator
.
NOTE-
A
thermostat
that
is
stuck
open
will
cause
the
engine
to
warmup
slowly
and
run
belownormal
temperature
at
highway
speed
.
A
thermostat
that
is
stuck
closed
will
re-
strict
coolant
flow
to
the
radiator
and
cause
overheating
.
