How-To's / e30 m42 problem

« on: June 01, 2010, 02:38:49 PM »

i replaced the injectors with ones from a s38.
it drives a little bit smoother but i did not solve the problem but when i replaced the injectors i have noticed that the injectors where going in the inlet manifold to easy and it make a sound if it  is leaking by the injectors in the manifold so i will go and get new seals and hope the problem will be solved.

i made a movie of the motor running

hi

I have a problem
My engine runs cold 750 rpm idle and 1000 rpm when it is hot.
and if he is cold he misses power and when he turns warmer it better

maybe someone knows what the problem might be.
engine runs smoothly
