1985 BMW 735I no fire to plugs
I was going to work on the BMW and put in a new thermastat the other day so I pulled it out in the driveway so as to drain the fluid there was no problem getting it done all went fine untill I got ready to start the car and it wouldn't fire so I started checking to see what the problem is and I found that there is no spark to the plugs so me being from the old shcool I thought ignition coil so off to the parts store I go and after $85.00 for the new coil and thirty minutes of putting it on the car it still didn't have any fire to the plugs I have been looking around the web for some answers and really didn't find much except they say there is a ignition modual unit that could cause my problem so thats where I am at at this time. Do any of you people here know if that is right or not is there a ignition module somewhere on this car if so where would it be located and where would a guy find the part.? PS It is good that I found this sit I think I will be getting a lot of help here.
