    stalls/dies when hot/under high load/at high rpm

    so i just finished putting my 87 back together. runs great for about 5 minutes then dies as soon as it gets hot :[

    will stall if:
    the engine is hot enough
    engine speed exceeds 2500 rpm
    throttle is above half way

    here are some clues:
    injectors are from an 85 735i (they work, but i dunno if theyll work with my car)
    coolant sensor/sender are new
    afm works
    tps works
    vacuum leaks are minimal
    fuel pump (new) is quite loud/screeching
    fuel pressure regulator is new

    possible culprits i've thought of so far:
    o2 sensor (seems to work, could be wrong)
    coil
    injectors (maybe e23 injectors dont work on e30s)

    You have an I or and E?

    m30 injectors are low impedance along with Eta ones, I motor has high impedance

    I was up above it, Now I'm down in it ~ Entropy - A Build thread.
