I have a 1993 BMW 740i VE. The fuel pump is working and the spark plugs are firing. I drained the fuel and put new fuel. injector cleaner and gas cleainer. If I spray starter cleaner it will start but will not stay running. Help.

It sounds like the thing that it is not doing is injecting fuel. It is possibly due to the injection control (DME) has possibly failed or is no longer grounding out the fuel injectors, maybe there isn't any power to the injectors. Check that and let me know what you find.
