I recently bought an '89 E30 Convertible that was taken decent care of as far as maintenance, but I am getting down into the nitty gritty of this car.
FYI, I have hardly driven this car, because it had a severe power steering fluid leak and starting to work on it has led me down a rabbit hole. The car is in pieces basically at this point.
First thing I did was change spark plugs, which I noticed were quite wet. This tipped me off to something going wrong in the fuel department.
Then I started to change the vacuum lines from the throttle body to the brake booster. As soon as I started taking them off, they REEKED of gas. This led to me removing everything including the intake manifold. Now I see that one of the pintle nozzles on the fuel injectors is completely gone.
I was thinking that all of this may be from the FPR, but after discovering that, I'm thinking maybe that's the problem.
My question is: Should I just try rebuilding the injectors and see if that fixes it or should I go ahead and replace the FPR too? I ask because I'd rather not buy a new FPR if it could still be good. Thanks in advance!
