86 325e issue.. Please Help!

[SSR-125]

Picked up another e30, its a 325e. Starts ect, but if you give it any amount of gas it just stalls out.. Fuel pump was just done. Going to be putting in a new fuel filter as well, New AFM, New ICV.. should i go ahead and do all of the vacuum lines? What do we think?

Check the rail fuel pressure.

Replaced the icv, AFM, FPR and it started and ran rough and died down when i gave it gas again, replaced fuel filter today and now the car just cranks and wont kick over... took the injectors out just about an hour ago and they look a little rough.. was looking at getting replacements and changing those. Just received a new vacuum line kit in the mail as well to replace every hose.. any ideas? Any help would be great thanks!

Any ideas?

Which fuel pump was just changed? In tank, or the external?

Don't rule out a faulty coolant temp sensor. Check its wiring, too...mine had a Reagan-era resistor soldered into the connector, and the joints had broken. It was under the connector boot, well hidden.

Check the exhaust system. I bought a 325i that had sat for a year. It showed the same symptoms, would start at first but would cutoff when you gave it gas. One of my coworkers saw a few wasps fly out of the tail pipe. The wasp nest was huge and had blocked up the muffler!

both fuel pumps were changed, i just ordered a coolant temp sensor as well..

This problem sounds familiar. You may have fuel, are air and spark good too?
