1991 318is E30 problems
well i think my 1 and 2 cylinders are running lean... not posative tho.
whenever i start and just let the car idles it idles like crap, and then when i start going it runs like crap until i hit high rpm's and then its like it over comes a barrier and rockets off , and then it will idle fine after that, unless i turn off the car, then i have to do the process over again. its almost like a valve is sticking and i just need to build up enough presure to break it loose. the mass air flow meter isn't sticking i check that, im still replacing a few vacume hoses but i did most of them. im thinking it might be the fuel presure regulator but im not sure. i replaced all the relayes, rebuild the head so none of the valves are sticking. also if i clamp the return line the problem seems to go away for the most part. it has a new fuel pump, new plugs and wires. both 1 and 2 have great spark. when the engines running crappy i can pull the wires of 1 or 2 and it wont really change the crappyness but if i pull 3 or 4 it stalls. so i think either 1 or 2 isn't getting enough fuel or air, but im not really sure which.
