    Valve Cover off, will not start

    Hey guys as you know I am brand new to the E30 world with my recent purchase of an 85 325e and I am loving every minute of it!

    So like any good person who is trying to save their E30 I wanted to test and evaluate my ticking noise from either my valves or my injectors.

    I wanted to do this with my valve cover off...

    Now I have owned and worked on Range Rovers/Land Rovers and Corvairs and they never had any issues with taking the valve cover off and not being able to start the vehicle.

    It is almost like is does not have enough vacuum. Is this a regular deal with these cars? Or am I doing this way way wrong?

    thanks!
Working...
