I hate to start a new topic, but I couldn't find a solution in any of the other ones, because they all deal with a little different issue.
So this is my friend's car he just bought a couple weeks ago, it ran fine, then starting took gradually longer as days passed, and now he isn't able to start the car at all. I've been helping him troubleshoot the problem, but I just ran out of ideas today.
The car is a 1985 325 eta.
This is what we have so far:
- Cranks just fine
- Fuel delivery test passed, so the fuel pumps should be good
- No spark
- There is battery voltage at the coil
- Coil test was good
- Wires are good
- Spark plugs are good
- Distributor cap is good
- Dist. rotor is good
- CPS and Reference sensor are good
- DME is good
- Ignition relays are good
What else can I check? I have a 1986es, so we can swap most of the things to test, and that's what I've been doing in addition to volt and resistance measurements.
Any ideas?
Please help us, he really needs the car to work.
