    1990 E30 325i Check Engine Light Problem

    My E30 has a check engine light and when I try to check it by putting it into neutral and stomping the pedal 5 times the blinks it make can not be translated into the number codes. It does one long blink, then a pause, and then one short blink with a pause. It then repeats that again and I have no idea how to figure out what that means.

    You're supposed do it with the engine off but the key in the "on" position.

    No e30s, again :(
    does the car act weird, or only has the light? since the test seems to not be working, we are going to have to find the problem the old fashioned way
    No e30s again.
