ok so here’s the rundown, bought it in Nov from a dude that said it wasn't running right. I figured out the problem was a couple of vacuum leaks and the coil packs were bad. I did a comp test and they were all between 200-220. I fixed the leaks, bought a COP kit and replaced the CPS and it fired up and drove beautiful for a little until one of the coolant hoses under the IM broke on me on the highway. After replacing that, the car doesn’t want to start anymore. It cranks and idles for a sec then dies. I’ve put new IM gaskets, spark plugs and tried a new ICV and AFM and neither made a difference. It’s getting gas b/c the plugs are wet so it may be a spark problem or even more…
I have no time to work on this car anymore as I bought a new car and I have an 86 325es project car that I want to focus on. I haven’t recv’d the title from DMV yet as I just registered it in the beginning of Feb though. I’ll try to get it running again but I would tow it personally.
Asking $600 obo. Will trade for a good turbo setup for my 2.7 stoker motor
