Mechanic recommendation - San Francisco

I am having issues with my 1987 528e. The car starts up but conks out. I think there is an issue with the fuel lines (I've changed the fuel pump).

The car is old and I don't want to sink more money than I have to at this point. Is there a reasonable mechanic in San Francisco who knows older BMWs?

Any help is appreciated!

Did you replace the fuel filter?

Have you tried disconnection a fuel line in the engine compartment and seeing if you are getting gas?



Andy

it could be the spark and not the feul system
check your spark plugs, wires, cap, roter, and coil

Thanks, I am trouble-shooting remotely. It's my father's car. So far he's done the fuel filter and pump and check the fuses and relays.

Andy, sounds like a good idea. Don't like the thought of 87 in my face...lol

Sortma20, thanks for the suggestion. Which component would you start with?

I was also facing the same problem. check the wiring, and battery for the car.
