Hi guys. Picked up an 86 325e on Monday (2/13/17) that started and ran good enough for me to get it a half mile down the road to my truck and trailer. Got back home and had to start it roughly 20 times to get it off the trailer and park it, hasn't started since.
A buddy was gracious enough to tackle this with me earlier today, long story short it's getting fuel, has spark, swapped DME with spare, tried different fuel pump relay just in case, checked voltage and continuity on the distributor, and even sprayed starting fluid into the intake - no start.
The plugs are super rich, and the car was running rich when it would start and run. I know that nobody is able to diagnose, but wondering if anybody had any ideas on where to go next. I'm wondering about crank sensors, but not positive.
Any thoughts welcomed and appreciated!
