M20 Running issue/Misfire

Hi All,

I have 320i that runs fine when driven normally but when full throttle is applied it gets to 4000rpm then starts popping and spluttering, if I let off and ease back in with the throttle to about half way it powers through it.

Any ideas? Do my injectors need a refurb?

Kind regards,

Tom

Re: E30 DRUM BRAKES

Thanks for the heads up! Another question, where is the fuel tank breather? I need to weld the O/S sub-frame mount but don't want to remove the tank if I can help it. :?

Re: E30 DRUM BRAKES

Thanks for the replies!

Which bolt hole 8O I'll slacken the cables all the way off and lift the star wheel and see where I am then, there is what appears to be a sort of ratchet mechanism I could see through the hole is this for the handbrake?

E30 DRUM BRAKES

Hi all, I've recently bought a 320i Pre-facelift, it needs some work for an MOT, one part being the rear brakes. I have hammered them to my hearts content but the drums won't freely rotate so I can't get them off, is there an adjuster if so which way should it be turned?! :cry: If anyone has had a s...
