Alright R3V. Im 80% stumped. (Now 90%) New development

[Van Westervelt]

If all 3 inj on one bank are fully open, its likely in the harness or computer somewhere. Unless some fault in the wiring messed up that bank of injectors... I dont see how though.

You verified timing was good, that you had spark on all cyl, and you swapped out the fuel rail harness? Swapped out dme or injectors?

[Wishno87]

Yes, your fuel injectors would literally be wide open, pouring fuel into the cylinders. WAY too rich to fire, a stock injector is prob capable of what 180hp? How many horses is that motor making at idle? 20? 30?

Cool thanks for clearing that up.

I haven't taking the timing covers off and checked the hash marks but im going to be doing a timing belt on this car too so that should be squared away.

I have spark
Swapped fuel harness
Swapped DME
Have not swapped injectors.

I have a set of injectors that are good if u need some. Need some new caps and o rings 15 dollars

^Read the thread, he has an entire late 325i for parts.

Alright guys got the harness swapped, timing belt done, and old changed.

Runs fine now and no more smell of gas. But when the car is warmed up it still smokes. Before I fixed it there was so much gas being dumped onto the cylinders that is was seeping though the exhaust manifolds and dripping out the tail pipe. Is it possible the smoke is just the gas in the exhaust being burnt up?

Also when I changed the oil there was quite a bit of gas in it as well.

yes, it can take a while to burn all out.

Thanks. That's the answer I was hoping for.

Or bad valve stem seals
