Their plan is to replace the "EKP", which they described as a feul pump control component.</P><P>~gs2gfWed, 23 Jul 2008 14:23:40 GMTGoSlow2GoFasthttp://boston-bmwcca.org/InstantForum/Topic684-7-1.aspxThere have been some issues w/ fuel tanks, pumps & fuel level senders in e92s. I'd have the dealer scan the vehicle for a fault, especially since the display indicated a fuel pump error. I think that the car starting after the booster pack was applied was coincidental.<br><br>FYI, [b]never[u][/u][/b] obtain a jump from a battery charger or another vehicle as this will cause voltage surges & spikes through your vehicle, rendering many control units inoperable afterwards. This can be a very expensive endeavor not covered by your warranty!<br><br>Good luck!;)Mon, 21 Jul 2008 16:29:12 GMTschnellerhttp://boston-bmwcca.org/InstantForum/Topic684-7-1.aspxSorry, put the model in the subject line, probably should have also had it in the body.
