My well maintained e30 with M42 is having problems that I can't figure out.
It died one day without warning on my way from work (a 100 miles daily commute) and I could not get it to fire up again. Ended out towing it to my garage.
After troubleshooting I concluded that it was bad crank sensor. Installed a new one, and car starts again. But it doesn't run good anymore. When cold, engine starts easily and it would idle for a few minutes before it dies, trowing an error code for a cam sensor (1510). Already replaced Cam sensor with a new one from Pelican, but no change. Engine still trows cam error code. Motor has no power and when accelerating, engine backfires and chokes.
Tried spare ECU, air mass sensor, idle control valve, tested coolant temperature sending unit. Fixed all hoses under intake, to eliminate possible vacuum leaks. Already checked timing chain suspecting that it jumped, but it's all good and on markings.
What do I look for next?
