Hoping for some help.
Just changed my timing belt, tensioner and water pump on my e30 that has been sitting in storage for 5 years.
I managed to successfully change everything;got the motor back together (no parts left over .. winning!!) and checked compression (195 to 200 psi per cylinder) before changing oil and dumping fuel and refilling.
She started pretty much first start but I can’t get the revs up past 1000rpm no matter how much I hold down the accelerator.
Any suggestions to diagnose what could be causing the problem?
I’ve taken the radiator and fan off and hand cracked to TDC. Timing marks on the covers look ok? Is this a fair guide or should I bite the bullet and take everything off again?
Any ideas?
