Still acting up...

[dager325]

So i just changed the fuel filter and its still bucks at three grand in like second and third. When i got it home from from the test run i put it in neutral and reved it up. It like hesitated(sp) and sputtered(sp sorry i cant spell). Any suggestions of what it might be?????? Thanks

injecters may need to be cleaned?

[dager325]

Anything else before I go get them cleaned?

AFM - caused my car to buck at like 5k, acted like I'd hit the revlimiter. Drove me INSANE.

Tried different AFM and gone! Find someone you can burrow a known good one off of, and give it a shot.

How much did you get it for????

How much did you get it for????

Did you read my post fully?

Before you go off and buy one, BURROW ONE from a friend or another e30 - something. Find an e30 in a parking lot, and ask them if you can burrow the car part. Give them your license when you go test. Something.

You can get them cheap, I know there's one in the FS forum right now for like $25. I got mine for around $20 off a friend or somethin like that.

But seriously, don't just buy one - test the theory first. Silly to spend the money when it's possible, and it is!, that it's not the problem.

Yea i wasnt going to but i don't know anyone around here that would have one. Do you think thats what it would be? Cause when I was reving it up in neutral it would take a while before it reved and it like sputtered you know? I don't it could be a few things. I guess its just trial and error. But yea i guess i got to go find one haha.

Now it won't start and yes there is gas in it. I start it up and it goest to like 1 grand then idles and drops to 500 and shuts off. Any suggestions??

That definitely doesn't sound like the AFM anymore.

The car needs three things to start correctly - AIR, which it usually good, SPARK and FUEL. Check to make sure the spark is strong. Check the plugs - this can tell you what's going on in the combustion chamber. Then, check to make sure the right amount of pressure is in the fuel rail.

Go buy a Bentley.

Hmm, I'm having this issue too. Damn afm. I'm cleaning my injectors and changing plugs this weekend anyway so we'll see.

[dager325]

Well it starts good now but like I cleaned the Afm out idk if there still could be a problem with it??? But i asked the old papa and he said its prob the injectors.

Sounds like fuel pump put a gauge on it and turn it to on position and see how much prime shot pressure there is.

Yep, do this. Also, your fuel mixture may have been off, causing the plugs to foul.

As Sean said, you need to check for proper fuel pressure, and good spark.
