missing and shooting flames now...

[bloodshot-e30]

alright my car has been missing for a while now and everytime i "figure it out" it just starts again like a day later or sooner.

so earlier today it was missing something terrible and smoking real bad. so i figured it was an injector stuck open. well i put my green tops back in and it idles better but still misses a little and real bad through right turns, and when i let off the gas it decides to backfire and shoot out a nice bright flame.


so im wondering if instead of 2 bad injectors it might be one bad one now or if theres something else i need to start looking for...


its an M52 OBDI swapped.

does it idle poorly? It sounds like you just kinda jumped to open injector.

[bloodshot-e30]

every thing is brand new and i jumped to injector cuz it was running hella rich and had gas dripping out of the exhaust.

I don't know man, flames are kinda cool.

[bloodshot-e30]

Have you tried swapping DMEs? I spent a little while chasing my tail on what turned out to be a DME that just wouldn't spark one cylinder.

[bloodshot-e30]

runs fine at WOT but im going to swap DMEs soon and the i didnt exactly jump to the injector i had some injector codes but i did the ohm test and they were all ithin .1 ohm..

How about the fuel pressure regulator?
Ive seen them fail and cause to much fuel pressure and cause the injectors to stay open.
Just a thought worth checking.

[bloodshot-e30]

never had a problem with it B4 and it would be giving me more than 1 o 2 injector codes but its worth a shot..

came from a good running car as well...

If you're ever in DC, I'd be happy to let you try one of mine.

im losing my mind chasing this... my red one NEVER had any of these problems.

dont worry in a few days youll have a known working 326k DME just cant break it or ill kill ya but you should cut off that rear valance and put it on hold for me

[bloodshot-e30]

[euro2fast4u]

seriously though, i need one bad and mike is hording one in pa just no way for me to get up there and get .... actually you should cut it off tomorrow before it gets freezing again and hide it. then when you come and get the dme we can swapzies
