okay heres some videos:
the second video shows the brick wall the car hit between 5 and 6000 (its hard to tell though)
the car has good power (and a very rusty muffler) as seen but not sure if that misfire noise is pinging???. the car has many new parts including:
-new bmw oe crank sensor
-mess under intake done
-rebuilt head
-180psi compression 1-4
-new spark plugs ngkbkr6ek
-new fuel filter
-rebuilt fuel injectors - s52 pink tops (same flow as stock ones at 3bar)
-fuel pressure never dips below 3bar even when problem happens (gauge confirmed)
-all new intake seals and intake boot
-ICV bypassed with hole drilled in coin and unplugged
-swapped old AFM for new unit from picknpull off e36 m42 - car runs better with new AFM but still has artificial redline
DME throws code 1262 for ICV not plugged in.
installed brand new plugs and did a plug chop and 1-4 are running lean. I also noticed that the intake manifold was very cold compared to the valve cover, not sure if normal.
the car WILL NOT IDLE on its own unless you rev it up, probably due to ICV being unplugged, I get that. but the artificially low redline problem cant be related can it?
not sure if it is AFM related or faulty fuel injector from my guy. have always had good experiences with the 4+ injectors Ive had from him so I am kinda ruling out fuel. the car bucks very hard when on/off throttle (possibly due to broken gas pedal at bottom mount). misfires at small throttle inputs and up until 3500rpm till it clears up.
there MIGHT be a vac leak but I highly doubt it, everything is torqued down good and all the lines hooked up properly
anything helps :) thinking about getting AFM rebuilt by bavrest and going from there. I believe you need a 5v power source to bench test the AFM properly and I dont know how to do that.
so TL/DR:
1. is my engine pinging or what???
2. what could be the cause? cam sensor, bad AFM's bad or what?
