E30 problem please help

And check the connection/cleanliness and resistance of your crank position sensor. Resistance should be 540 ohms +/- 10% - assuming you just have one bolted to the front side of the engine block vs the 2 in the tranny. It's worth installing another one just to check. The resistance might be fine, but it could still be faulty (inteference/bad ground). Seen a similar hesitation on my engine when I installed a ghetto CPS that I soldered together from 1 new and 1 old CPS - didn't work unfortunately. Maybe a bad ground, or interference - couldn't tell except for the fact that the engine wouldn't rev past ~1500RPM (stalled, hesitated, bogged, generally sounded like utter sh1t). Got a new one coming in the post :-s

I have the same fitment issue on the right-hand side of my TB - the links to the brake master cylinder. They're not quite as loose as yours, but they're easy enough to pull out. Just slap some RTV gasket sealer in there.

Take some ATP and seal that. Check the other side too. Those are vacuum leaks 100%. Not sure if that's whats causing your car to behave like that tho.

Does it even try to flash when you stomp test it? Ie is it giving you no code code? If not you may not be stomping it right.

If your TPS is bad the stomp test won't work. Unplug your tps see if that makes a difference.

whars tps lol sorry a noobie
