: This is a repost from ealier . . . still looking for help!

: I am trying to start my 85 325e after two years storage. I have removed old fuel, and cleaned and checked fuel pumps.

: The engine now starts easily, runs to about 1200 rpm, and then immediatley dies. Any suggestions on where to look next will be greatly appreciated!!

: Thanks in advance.

Check for a vacuum leak. Especially on the intake, from where it meets the MAF sensor. Those are prone to dry rotting. Look at all other vacuum hoses & inspect....

Good Luck,
Chris
