Check
1Separate the air intake duct from the
throttle body (fuel injection models) or remove
the air cleaner (carburettor models).
2Have an assistant depress the accelerator
pedal to the floor while you watch the throttle
valve. It should move to the fully-open
position.
3Release the accelerator pedal, and make
sure the throttle valve returns smoothly to the
fully-closed position. The throttle valve should
not contact the body at any time during its
movement; if it does, the unit must be renewed.
Adjustment
4Warm the engine to normal operating
temperature, then switch it off. Depress theaccelerator pedal to the floor twice, then
check the cable free play at the
carburettor/throttle body. Compare it to the
value listed in this Chapter’s Specifications.
5If the free play isn’t as specified, adjust it by
turning the adjustment nut (see illustration).
6Have an assistant help you verify the
throttle valve is fully open when the
accelerator pedal is depressed to the floor.

the cable as described earlier.
10 Carburettor-
general information
1Early models are fitted with a Solex 2B4
carburettor, and later models are fitted with a
Solex 2BE carburettor. Both carburettors are
of downdraught, two-stage type. The first
stage is operated mechanically by the
accelerator pedal, and the second stage by
vacuum control.
2Each stage has its own float chamber, float
assembly and needle valve, designed to
reduce the effects of braking and centrifugal
forces.
3On the 2B4 version, the primary stage
choke valve is operated by an automatic
choke (a bi-metal spring which is electrically
heated) during the warm-up period. Warm-up
enrichment is also provided by a coolant-
operated thermal valve and air temperature-
controlled flow valve.
4On the 2BE version, an electronic controlunit is used to automatically adjust the
carburettor settings during warm-up and
normal temperature operation. The control
unit is located beneath the right-hand side of
the facia.

to a BMW dealer.
13 Fuel injection -
general information
The fuel injection system is composed of
three basic sub-systems: fuel system, air
intake system and electronic control system.
Fuel system
An electric fuel pump, located inside the
fuel tank or beside the fuel tank, supplies fuel
under constant pressure to the fuel rail, which
distributes fuel evenly to all injectors. From
the fuel rail, fuel is injected into the intake
ports, just above the intake valves, by the fuel
injectors. The amount of fuel supplied by the
injectors is precisely controlled by an
Electronic Control Unit (ECU). An additional
injector, known as the cold start injector (L-
Jetronic and early Motronic systems only),
supplies extra fuel into the intake manifold for
starting. A pressure regulator controls system
pressure in relation to intake manifold
vacuum. A fuel filter between the fuel pump
and the fuel rail filters the fuel, to protect the
components of the system.
Air intake system
The air intake system consists of an air filter
housing, an airflow meter, a throttle body, the
intake manifold, and the associated ducting.
The airflow meter is an information-gathering
device for the ECU. These models are
equipped with the vane-type airflow meter. A
potentiometer measures intake airflow, and a
temperature sensor measures intake air
temperature. This information helps the ECU
determine the amount of fuel to be injected by
the injectors (injection duration). The throttle
plate inside the throttle body is controlled by
the driver. As the throttle plate opens, the
amount of air that can pass through the
system increases, so the potentiometer opens
further and the ECU signals the injectors to
increase the amount of fuel delivered to the
intake ports.
Electronic control system
The computer control system controls the
fuel system and other systems by means of
an Electronic Control Unit (ECU). The ECU
receives signals from a number of information
sensors which monitor such variables as
intake air volume, intake air temperature,
coolant temperature, engine rpm,
acceleration/deceleration, and exhaust
oxygen content. These signals help the ECU
determine the injection duration necessary for
the optimum air/fuel ratio. These sensors and
their corresponding ECU-controlled outputactuators are located throughout the engine
compartment. For further information
regarding the ECU and its relationship to the
engine electrical systems and ignition system,
refer to Chapters 5 and 6.
Either an L-Jetronic system or a Motronic
system is fitted. Later models have an
updated version of the original Motronic
system.
14 Fuel injection systems
L-Jetronic fuel injection system
The Bosch L-Jetronic fuel injection system
is used on most 3-Series models up to 1987,
and on most E28 (“old-shape”) 5-Series
models. It is an electronically-controlled fuel
injection system that utilises one solenoid-
operated fuel injector per cylinder. The system
is governed by an Electronic Control Unit
(ECU) which processes information sent by
various sensors, and in turn precisely
meters the fuel to the cylinders by
adjusting the amount of time that the injectors
are open.
An electric fuel pump delivers fuel under
high pressure to the injectors, through the fuel
feed line and an in-line filter. A pressure
regulator keeps fuel available at an optimum
pressure, allowing pressure to rise or fall
depending on engine speed and load. Any
excess fuel is returned to the fuel tank by a
separate line.
A sensor in the air intake duct constantly
measures the mass of the incoming air, and
the ECU adjusts the fuel mixture to provide an
optimum air/fuel ratio.
Other components incorporated in the
system are the throttle valve (which controls
airflow to the engine), the coolant temperature
sensor, the throttle position switch, idle
stabiliser valve (which bypasses air around
the throttle plate to control idle speed) and
associated relays and fuses.
Motronic fuel injection system
The Motronic system combines the fuel
control of the L-Jetronic fuel injection system
with the control of ignition timing, idle speed
and emissions into one control unit.
The fuel injection and idle speed control
functions are similar to those used on the L-
Jetronic system described above. For more
information on the Motronic system, see
Chapter 6.
An oxygen sensor is mounted in the
exhaust system on later models with a
catalytic converter. This sensor continually
reads the oxygen content of the exhaust gas.
The information is used by the ECU to adjust
the duration of injection, making it possible to
adjust the fuel mixture for optimum converter
efficiency and minimum emissions.
15 Fuel injection system-
check
2
Warning: Fuel is extremely
flammable, so take extra
precautions when you work on
any part of the fuel system. Don’t
smoke, or allow open flames or bare light
bulbs, near the work area. Don’t work in a
garage where a natural gas-type appliance
(such as a water heater or clothes dryer)
with a pilot light is present. If you spill any
fuel on your skin, rinse it off immediately
with soap and water. When you perform
any kind of work on the fuel system, wear
safety glasses, and have a fire
extinguisher on hand.
1Check the earth wire connections. Check
all wiring harness connectors that are related
to the system. Loose connectors and poor
earths can cause many problems that
resemble more serious malfunctions.
2Make sure the battery is fully charged, as
the control unit and sensors depend on an
accurate supply voltage in order to properly
meter the fuel.
3Check the air filter element - a dirty or
partially-blocked filter will severely impede
performance and economy (see Chapter 1).
4If a blown fuse is found, renew it and see if
it blows again. If it does, search for an earthed
wire in the harness related to the system.
5Check the air intake duct from the airflow
meter to the intake manifold for leaks. Intake
air leaks can cause a variety of problems. Also
check the condition of the vacuum hoses
connected to the intake manifold.
6Remove the air intake duct from the throttle
body, and check for dirt, carbon and other
residue build-up. If it’s dirty, clean it with
carburettor cleaner and a toothbrush.
7With the engine running, place a
screwdriver or a stethoscope against each
injector, one at a time, and listen for a clicking
sound, indicating operation (see illustration).
4•14 Fuel and exhaust systems
15.7 Use a stethoscope or screwdriver to
determine if the injectors are working
properly - they should make a steady
clicking sound that rises and falls with
engine speed changes

8Check the fuel system pressure (see
Section 3).
9If these checks do not locate the problem,
take the vehicle to a BMW dealer, who will be
able to read the fault codes stored in the ECU,
using special equipment.
16 Airflow meter- check,
removal and refitting
2
Check (L-Jetronic systems)
1Remove the duct from the intake end of the
airflow meter. Carefully open and close the
sensor flap (see illustration), and check for
binding. The flap can bend during a backfire,
and cause incorrect resistance readings. The
flap will bind and stick in a partially-open
position, causing the engine to run rich, and
stall when it returns to idle.
2Disconnect the electrical connector from
the airflow meter.
3Using an ohmmeter, check the resistancebetween terminals 7 and 8 (see illustration).
The resistance should increase steadily
(without any “flat spots”) as the sensor flap is
slowly moved from the fully-closed position to
the fully-open position.
4Also, check the intake air temperature
sensor (inside the airflow meter). Using an
ohmmeter, probe terminals 8 and 9 (see
illustration 16.3)and check for the proper
resistance. The resistance should be 2200 to
2700 ohms at 20º C.
5If the resistance readings are correct, check
the wiring harness (see Chapter 12). Plug in
the connector to the airflow meter. Ensure
that the ignition is switched off. Disconnect
the electrical connector from the ECU (located
under the right-hand side of the facia) and
probe terminals 7 and 8 (see illustration)with
an ohmmeter. Carefully move the door of the
airflow meter, and observe the change in
resistance as it moves from closed to fully-
open. The test results should be the same as
paragraph 3. If there are any differences in the
test results, there may be a shorted-out or
broken wire in the harness.
Check (Motronic systems)
6Ensure that the ignition is switched off.Remove the ECU access cover (see Chap-
ter 6) and disconnect the harness connector
(see illustration).
7Using an ohmmeter, probe the designated
terminals of the ECU electrical connector (see
illustrations)and check for the proper
change in resistance while moving the sensor
flap. On early Motronic systems, probe
terminals 7 and 9. On later Motronic systems,
probe terminals 7 and 12. The resistance
should increase steadily (without any “flat
spots”) as the sensor flap is slowly moved
from the fully-closed position to the fully-open
position. Note: Early Motronic systems are
distinguishable by the 35-pin ECU electrical
connector; later Motronic systems use a 55-
pin connector.
8If the resistance readings are incorrect,
check the wiring harness.
Removal and refitting (all
systems)
9Disconnect the electrical connector from
the airflow meter.
10Remove the air cleaner assembly (see
Section 8).
11Remove the nuts (see illustrations), and
lift the airflow meter from the engine
compartment or from the air cleaner
assembly.
12Refitting is the reverse of removal.
Fuel and exhaust systems 4•15
16.5 The ECU is located under the right-
hand side of the facia. Unplug the
electrical connector, and check the
resistance between terminals 7 and 8 as in
paragraph 3. The test results should be the
same.
16.3 Connect an ohmmeter to terminals 7
and 8 of the airflow meter, and check for a
smooth change in resistance as the vane
door of the airflow meter is slowly opened
and closed16.1 Check for binding of the flap in the
airflow meter as it nears closing position
or wide-open position. Any hesitation or
binding will cause erratic idle conditions,
rich fuel mixture or poor acceleration and
throttle response (airflow meter removed
for clarity)
16.7b Unplug the connector, connect the
ohmmeter probes to terminals 7 and 9
(early Motronic systems) and check for a
smooth change in resistance as the door
on the airflow meter is slowly opened and
closed16.7a Connect the ohmmeter probes to
terminals 7 and 12 (later Motronic systems)
of the ECU connector and check for a
smooth change in resistance as the door

17 Throttle body- check,
removal and refitting
2
Check
1Detach the air intake duct from the throttle
body (see Section 8) and move the duct out of
the way.
2Have an assistant depress the throttle
pedal while you watch the throttle valve.
Check that the throttle valve moves smoothly
when the throttle is moved from closed (idle
position) to fully-open (wide-open throttle).
3If the throttle valve is not working properly,
renew the throttle body unit.
Warning: Wait until the engine is
completely cool before beginning
this procedure.
Caution: If the radio in your
vehicle is equipped with an anti-
theft system, make sure you
have the correct activation code
before disconnecting the battery. Refer to
the information on page 0-7 at the front of
this manual before detaching the cable.
Note: If, after connecting the battery, the
wrong language appears on the instrument
panel display, refer to page 0-7 for the
language resetting procedure.
Removal and refitting
4Detach the battery negative cable.
5Detach the air intake duct from the throttle
body, and place to one side.
6Detach the accelerator cable from the
throttle body (see Section 9).
7Detach the cruise control cable, if applicable.
8Clearly label all electrical connectors
(throttle position sensor, cold start injector,
idle air stabiliser, etc), then unplug them.
9Clearly label all vacuum hoses, then detach
them.
10Unscrew the radiator or expansion tank
cap to relieve any residual pressure in the
cooling system, then refit it. Clamp shut the
coolant hoses, then loosen the hose clamps
and detach the hoses. Be prepared for some
coolant leakage.11Remove the throttle body mounting nuts
(upper) and bolts (lower), and detach the
throttle body from the air intake plenum (see
illustration).
12Cover the air intake plenum opening with
a clean cloth, to prevent dust or dirt from
entering while the throttle body is removed.
13Refitting is the reverse of removal. Be sure
to tighten the throttle body mounting nuts to
the torque listed in this Chapter’s Specifica-
tions, and adjust the throttle cable (see
Section 9) on completion.
18 Fuel pressure regulator-
check and renewal
3
Warning: Fuel is extremely
flammable, so take extra
precautions when you work on
any part of the fuel system. Don’t
smoke, or allow open flames or bare light
bulbs, near the work area. Don’t work in a
garage where a natural gas-type appliance
(such as a water heater or clothes dryer)
with a pilot light is present. If you spill any
fuel on your skin, rinse it off immediately
with soap and water. When you perform
any kind of work on the fuel system, wear
safety glasses, and have a fire
extinguisher on hand.
Caution: If the radio in your
vehicle is equipped with an anti-
theft system, make sure you
have the correct activation code
before disconnecting the battery. Refer to
the information on page 0-7 at the front of
this manual before detaching the cable.
Note: If, after connecting the battery, the
wrong language appears on the instrument
panel display, refer to page 0-7 for the
language resetting procedure.
Check
1Depressurise the fuel system (see Sec-
tion 2).
2Detach the battery negative cable.
3Disconnect the fuel line and connect a fuel
pressure gauge (see Section 3). Reconnect
the battery.4Pressurise the fuel system (refit the fuel
pump fuse and switch on the ignition), and
check for leakage around the gauge
connections.
5Connect a vacuum pump to the fuel
pressure regulator (see illustration).
6Run the fuel pump (see Section 3). Read the
fuel pressure gauge with vacuum applied to
the pressure regulator, and also with no
vacuum applied. The fuel pressure should
decrease as vacuum increases.
7Stop the fuel pump and reconnect the
vacuum hose to the regulator. Start the engine
and check the fuel system pressure at idle,
comparing your reading with the value listed
in this Chapter’s Specifications. Disconnect
the vacuum hose and watch the gauge - the
pressure should jump up to maximum as soon
as the hose is disconnected.
8If the fuel pressure is low, pinch the fuel
return line shut and watch the gauge. If the
pressure doesn’t rise, the fuel pump is
defective, or there is a restriction in the fuel
feed line. If the pressure now rises sharply,
renew the pressure regulator.
9If the indicated fuel pressure is too high,
stop the engine, disconnect the fuel return line
and blow through it to check for a blockage. If
there is no blockage, renew the fuel pressure
regulator.
10If the pressure doesn’t fluctuate as
described in paragraph 7, connect a vacuum
