Barometric Pressure Sensor

[Andrew Pridham <apridham@xxxxxxxx>]

Can anyone tell me anything about this component found on my 1984 318i (and 
other years, makes and models).  Neither the Bentley, Haynes nor Chilton 
manuals address the troubleshooting of this (important?) component, 
although at least Chilton documents its existence.  It is a three wire 
component, with one wire going to each of the injectors, and another to the 
control unit (the third, I can't tell).  Presumably if it malfunctions 
there will be a problem with the air/fuel mixture ratio, so I'd like some 
assurance that all is well.
