Don't say that Robert. I will die.

Car cranks fine but does not start.
What's the best way to check TB?

Will check CPs on the am. Thanks Abby

Just check it please. The same thing happened to one of our customers.

It was a broken timing belt.

How old was the belt?

The car will crank funny if the tb broke. Audibly a different tone.

My bet is CPS as well. Or a loose main relay.

Timing belt was done last year and 17k miles ago.

Did the ICV pop off the throttle body?
lol, that's my favorite "omfg wtf happened" scare.

[bmw325csi]

Too dark and too drunk to really check it out tonight.
Thanks though guys, I really appreciate all the input. I'll get back to y'all in the AM.
Thanks again

damn harry i hope you find out what's wrong and soon. I'd be so upset if my car failed to run.

[mkcman17]

Yeah broken TB would sound like whirring on crank.

Exactly what you described happened to me.
It was the timing belt. This is what it sounded like:



These wouldn't happen to be ceramic coated, would they?

Cheap parts

[MR 325]

what are you getting done to the m3?

Main thing is the Vanos but I gave Chris a long list of shit I've been neglecting.

Please welcome the new daily driver.

1995 E34 540/6, GC Race Coilovers, Dinan Chip, Dinan 3.64 LSD, Dinan sway bars, muffler delete. It is so much fun to drive but won't make it over speed bumps without dragging the belly. LOL

Cheers,

Jim

Congrats Jim, very nice!

Easiest way to check if it's broken is to have somebody crank it while you open the oil cap to see if the head is rotating.

Looks like stainless but not coated.

[bmw325csi]

Checked the CPs. Correct resistance.
I'm checking fuel ATM. Next up spark followed by dme

Thanks Matt

Jeff Ireland just responded saying "probably not coated." If he can't tell whether his own headers are coated or not I'm not sure anyone can haha.

Be relieved if the car doesn't sound like my video posted above.

[bmw325csi]

Yea I am. Timing belt is ok.
