I finally tracked down the source of my idling/starting issues. The end of the fuel line that runs into the fuel rail was brittle and cracked and bleeding off fuel. I disconnected it cut about a 1/4" down to fresh hose and reattached it. The car fired perfectly and idled so well over and over again! Needless to say I was really excited.
Now for the bad... There is next to no slack to begin with in that fuel line that runs down to the hardline that runs to the fuel filter. This is pulling on the connection at the fuel rail and I can't get a good seal on the nipple. The hardline that runs under the car is almost rotted away so I want to replace the whole section.
Will the fuel line from a 87 325i fit on my 89? Or can it be "worked" to fit? I found a great guy on here who has one off a 87 but I want to make sure its doable before I pull the trigger.
Any thoughts are appreciated! Thanks!
