A friend just asked for help in diagnosing his BMW:
-starts fine when cold -starts fine immediately after turning it off -impossible to start after 15 or 20 minutes -starts fine when you wait until the engine is cold To me, sounds like something in the enrichening circuit, blah blah. Any ideas? |

It doesn't have a CTS at least not in the sense you speak of.
It has a thermo time switch, but its not consitant with his symptoms. This is a pretty good page on CIS. http://www.users.bigpond.com/INTERJECT/KSI...LN.HTM#Why%20is There was also a recall for this problem. It added a new harness, a dashpot and a relay on the firewall. If his car does not have it, he might be able to add it. |
