E30 Track Kar

[D_Eclipse9916]

I'm pretty sure mike bought a injector overhaul kit for Jake's old e30. Maybe try that? Actually, NASA guys chime in, doesn't Xavier do something injector related? Grid to Announcer (DJ), whats that crap you're always saying on the microphone?

In all the days of me trying to get shit to run, I have never once had a car drive like complete shit/not start with "clogged" injectors. But ya never know. Dead injector just makes one cylinder not fire, (put a screwdriver on each injector and make sure they are each clicking.

Injector Pulse can fix your flow :wink:

okay, we need to start over with diagnosing. Can youi get the car to at least run? Get it running, if you have to hold the throttle, grab a friend. Hold the throttle or idle steady and pull each spark plug wire/coil pack individually. If the sound of the motor changes, that is good. That spark plug/coil pack is working. Go slowly by each cylinder. If they all do the same thing, you have an ECU/MAF/Ground/Vacuum issue.


BTW, easy way to test your injectors. Find out their flow rate, find a large metering jug (or even more ghetto, zero out the weight of an empty milk jug, and use weight to calculate how much fuel). Jump each injector and test them out against each other/spec into the jug. (use the clock and spray for exactly 15/30/60 seconds, all up to you, but calculate based on time) If everything works, throw together with new o-rings in.

Move on to vacuum leaks. Start by spraying carb cleaner all around the intake manifold/injectors etc (dont just spray everywhere, spray certain areas first. (if the car is even idling enough at this point).

Have you OHM tested your TPS/Coolant Temp sensors? Try that next.

Does the car have a schraeder valve on the fuel rail? Borrow someone's fuel pressure gauge and check idle/throttle fuel. Fuel pressure should be lower and stable at idle. Should rise with throttle.

Do all these before spending any more money please. Give me a call, where is this car?
