Pliers dude, when your stranded or in a bind make whatever you got work.... learn to be resourceful. I have one bolt on my dizzy cap that i use a small pair of vice grips on because the hex part of the inside of the bolt is rounded , try that it should work.

I doubt its that unless your ignition stuff is in absolutely horrible shape. It prob. isnt if it was running fine earlier. Check spark, listen for injectors clicking.

[e30_lover_CT]

it's in the shop. updates forthcoming. ...so much for a reliable daily driver, lol. i'm probably going to buy a shitbox beater that I won't care if someone steals, and keep it as a backup driver in case stuff happens to the eta...

update: failed crankshaft position sensor

[e30_lover_CT]

EDIT: it's the crank reference sensor located at flywheel that failed. if it was the CPS it'd be far easier!
