Engine start after stand-by period
« on: April 26, 2013, 03:19:06 AM »
E30 M42B18 1989:
Car downtime <= 1 day:
At any season engine starts immediately. Run smooth after start.

Car downtime > 1 day, but < 3 days:
Engine starts not perfectly, for first 10 seconds idle jumping 600-1100.

Car downtime 4-7 days:
Few times was necessary to crank for very long time.

Leaky injectors would be a good thing to check.
