I have an 87 325E that I bought off craigslist as a project and its been sat for close to 7 years. It runs but cylinder number 5 isn't running, it's getting spark but it doesn't run. Any ideas?

To run it must have air, fuel, and spark. Check your fuel injector going into cyl 5 then check the compression number for that cylinder. -
The compression on cylinder 5 is good, I'm think the injector is suspect. I was running it and I couldn't feel it ticking when it was running, the leads to the injector have continuity and I measured 6 ohms off the injector itself.Comment

Pull the valve cover to check and see if the one of the #5 rockers are broken.1988 E30 335i - 1987 E30 327i - 1987 E30 327iS Pickup - 1973 2002 Project

Not a bad idea, I'll check tomorrow when I have sun light and when it isn't raining.Comment

Definitely could also be a clogged injector from sitting.Comment
