    Car wont idle below 2k and smells of raw fuel

    I was driving the e30 and came up to a light and the car startes running really rough then died was able to get it started after a while and got it to a parking lot

    The car stinks like unburnt fuel and wont idle below 2k and misfires if rpms drop below 2k or at wot

    Im thinking injector stuck open the high idle makes me think vacuum leak but maybe its the ecu trying to keep the 02 sensor happy

    I also thought maybe the purge valve is bad or the tps went bad

    Pull the vacuum hose from the fuel pressure regulator and see if there is raw fuel in the hose

      Could be a lot of things, check to see if your icv is good.

          ICV hums with key on
          Tps tests good
          purge valve seems ok
          car started and idled ok but the exhaust still smells like fuel

          I think I have a bad injector I have had some M50 injectors I got two years ago I guess I need to get off my ass and send them to MEPEH
          I'm going to replace the plugs and replace the coolant temp sensor as well

          Hopefully that will fix it

            I replaced the injectors and spark plugs and car seems to run good i think it is still learning the 17 lb m50 injectors.

            I realized I need to replace my fuel lines in the engine bay anybody have a Part# i looked it up on real oem and that looks nothing like my car.
