Ok so I went to go say hello to my new E36 right.... Go inside just like usual shift into neutral while the car is off with the E-Brake on and go to turn it on. The car would not want to start every second EEEEEEhhhhhhh EEEEEEEhhhhhh!?!?!?!?! I was flipping out thinking OH HELL NO NOT YET:yikes::yikes::yikes:!!! PLEASE I thougth my car had hit the crapper finally:cry:. So I go to open up the hood and I was trying to think of all of the logical explanations! I thought mabye my fuel pump is dead!!!! Then I though nah no way it just got replaced. So I look on top of the engine and walla it had to be it right(the reason I say right is cuz that had to be the reason it didn't want to start) so I tighten the wire that is hooked up to the gas pedal and walla the car starts:bigpimp: I'm assuming thats the reason it wouldn't start right????
I added a pic of the wire so you guys could help me out. Thanks

I think that the problem is that you're treating your car as if it's your equal.. Bimmers don't like that. They expect you to know your place. I'd advise you not to exchange greetings with your car. It puts your relationship on a bad footing. BTW, the wire as you showed it looked fine to me, but I could be wrong.
