Bmw 316 ti 1996 wont rev up theres fuel and spark but start it runs for 30 seconds then dies

Float in tank could be stuck or malfunctioning, or sensor wire from tank damaged or not grounded properly.

change your fuel filter if it does'nt work check that your fuel pressure is ok if not check that all the plugs on your air intake is all good and pluged in properly

SOURCE: bmw 316 ABS light stays on

Your ABS systems use a combination of electronic and hydraulic systems to modulate the brakes individually to prevent them from locking up. Antilock systems consist of wheel speed sensors, a hydraulic control unit (HCU), and an electronic control unit (ECU). Because of how complex the system is your computer does a self-test. If the check is successful, the ANTILOCK and BRAKE lights will go out within a few seconds. If one or more of the component of the ABS system fails to pass one or both lights will remain lit, the system will shut down and set a code. The code itself does not tell exactly what component is defective - it only indicates where to look, or what parameter is out of normal range. You or a technician will have to perform further testing to pinpoint cause and the proper repair. Even if you reset the light, if the underlying problem is not addressed it will come back on.

Please let me know if this information is helpful. Positive feedback is appreciated. Thank You!

SOURCE: 1996 disco 1 misfire error codes 313 and 316, bank B.

Could be, but more likely to be fuel. Why do I think that? Carbon build up typically happens when plugs are working (no carbon without fire) but fuel mixture is wrong (air or fuel). If coil, most likely would misfire at all engine RPM, not just low RPM. So, I reckon to look at fuel rail pressure to the injectors first - get a pressure gauge on the fuel rail and check it out. I think, but can't remember for sure, that there is a fuel pressure regulator per bank, but I could be completely wrong. But either way, I'd check that out as it is simple and if it is OK, then check out air path to that bank and any vacuum/air take offs specifically to that bank. If all OK, then why not swap coils? See if problem swaps over. If so, you know it is the coil.
