[QUOTE="btslee, post: 686718, member: 32079"] I'm really interested in the DIS/GT1 route after reading the EasyDIS 44 and INPA working thread in General Tech. It seems to be more future proof as I understand more about the car, whereas BMW Scanner V1.40 is easier to comprehend. Still undecided on whether to take the plunge and get the INPA or play safe and get the BMW Scanner since I'm still a newbie. Meanwhile, I will be holding off repairs until I have a scanner in hand. Update on my starting problem: It seems that if I leave the ignition to on for around 10 seconds to let the fuel pressure build up before I start the car, the car will start fine. Did a fuel pressure test and saw that the pressure dropped steadily to 0 after engine was turned off and pressure built up after the ignition was turned on. Is the situation normal or is the pressure supposed to be held with minimal drop after the engine is turned off? [/QUOTE]
