'88 325. It just died while driving up a hill today. All the dash lights were lit up like you had the key in position one. I pulled over and It started fine and I drove to town. It died again under way and started fine and then ran ok the rest of the day. Also: It usually starts at the touch of a key but 2 or 3 times a week it just cranks and won't start. After a few minutes it starts normally. The other day I started it and got out to do something. When I jumped in and shouted, "let's get this bucket moving, Race!" it died as soon as my ass hit the seat. A previous owners mechanic report states it would die at stop signs and then start easily. No error codes returned but the tach signal was suspected. Jiggling the wires and connectors "solved" the problem but now it is back with me, the new owner. I tested the cam sensor for resistance and it measures exactly as prescribed. The cold start sensor also tested good. If it was a chevy I'd be looking at the bulkhead connector. Any ideas? p.s. I rubbed out the paint and waxed it twice. It looks like a million dollars!
