I used aftermarket fuel hoses bought by length and made of NBR/PVC rubber mixture 8mm inner diameter, and they are fine... It cost about 2€ / meter....

Thank you, I will have a look at the voltages... My alternator is about 30years old as the car itself and it hasn't been refurbished yet at all. BTW a friend of mine agrees with You daimlerman; he says if I do not use my car very often (I don't) the battery can lose its ampere capacity and it might ...

Hmm... interesting. Could it happen that a low voltage battery can produce enough power for cranking/starter engine and do not have enough power for the ignition/coil? Starter engines need more power than the coil, doesn't it? In the cranking sequence should the alternator produce enough power for t...

Hi all... New progress... I do not have to check the compression test, because we managed to start the engine with my brother. Rocker arms are in good condition. I have already checked them with the clearance as well... BUT I don't know how to express it in english: At the first try we couldn't star...

fast... but fast for good battery, not as fast as the cambelt torn... I could say I am sure that the belt is good, I have changed it 3 months ago... I could not have tried the compression test, I do not have the tool for that... But I am sorry to say I do not understand that removing all the plugs a...

Didn't start with the brake cleaner test... Changed the CPS and makes nothing as well...

Hi and apologize for the late answer... Tomorrow finally I will get the brake cleaner for the test. My car is simple as a needle, it has no immobiliser and any anti-theft electronics such as central locking system or alarm system. That black plastic box is missing as well. I have only the check pane...

Yes I have tried... and the pump is able to build up pressure between 2.5-3bar while cranking. I have nothing above my ECU as it was an L-Jetronic and have converted to a motronic car. At every first start on every day I try to start the engine the car puffs one or two times shows it wants to run, b...

I have the 2.5 Bar on the fuel line... The fuel pump is brand new as well... Distributor cap is brand new and a rotor arm is brand new. Everything is brand new :( Can it be a problem with OBC Relay? All the E30s have this On-Board Computer Relay box with C2 connector connects on C104 to the junction...

All the tests I mentioned was taken on the old and new parts as well... Spark check on each plug was done. I found the spark a little weak but I have sparks at all the cylinders. At the bulb test on the coil the light intense is much less while cranking. Maybe there is some voltage drop on the coil ...

Yes, of course I have the contact and the correct resistant on the pins of the ECU's loom. The temp sensor is brand new as well...

Hi everyone Let me ask for some help. I have already read tons of forums about cranking issues, and tested everything on my car, but I am not able to find the solution. I have a 85 M20B20 E30 L-Jetronic rebuilded to Motronic 1.3 engine. My car had ran fine, but suddenly it stopped working about a mo...
