Re: Non starting s14

Thx will try that tap😉
I've had a reply from james at injecturetune too👍
Referring back to the two lower pulse sensors it's the upper one that was faulty and would not let the car start what does this do? ,as this was not allowing it to start,

Thanks Mike

Re: Non starting s14

Morning Brian I pulled off the hose by the pressure regulator and cracked her over and a decent amount of fuel flowed so I'm happy at the moment but the fuel pumps are working. I changed over the airflow meter just to check to see if it was a bad connection but the airflow meter seems to work okay o...

Re: Non starting s14

The pumps are providing fuel immediately into a container when first cranking so would it be the pressure regulator or an electric feed / signal issue to fuel injection ?

Re: 1990 M3 Purchase Advice

Why would it need an engine rebuild at 100,000 miles unless it's been raped? No offence, you are doing a very good job at restoring it, but your iS is a proper crusty turd and will never really be worth much. If you ever were serious about buying the m3, you should get it bought, chuck the iS back ...
