For the last couple weeks, my engine's been running rough in my 1990 325i. I took it to a shop where they replaced the injectors and plugs, and checked out some other things. It ran a lot better, but still slightly rough. It also had a hard starting issue to during the last few weeks. It would turn over fine, I could smell gas after a few minutes of cranking, but it wouldn't start up. Sometimes it would kind of catch, sputter, but wouldn't run. This tells me (I hope) that fuel is fine, but its a spark problem.
Today was the worst so far, I couldn't get it to start even after a jump, and ended up taking my bro in laws truck. Yuck. Needles to say, it drives like a truck. But at least it got me to work.
I've picked up a new dist. cap and rotor and will do some more trouble shooting this weekend to check out how the spark is, but does anyone have some ideas on what else I can check out? Is there a good way to check coil output?
BTW, there are no error codes, no CEL. In fact, I can't even get the "all clear" error code to come up.
