Re.528e running rich

["Trevor Turner" <ytt105@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You haven't been playing with the starter circuit have you.

I had a very rich running E23 733i some years ago. It started just after I 
installed a starter circuit relay to take the load off the ignition switch.

Much head scratching and dollars later we discovered that the computer is 
powered from the ignition/starter circuit after been dropped to about 3 or 4 
volts. My addition of the relay had bypassed this voltage drop so the 
computer was recieving 12 volts and hence running 3 or 4 times the correct 
fuel.

Removed the $5 relay and the car went fine. The copmuter wasn't even stuffed 
after all this extra power. Good quality stuff!

Good luck
